Q. David Bowers will donate $1,000 to a numismatic organization if you find one of these nickels! They're out there folks, let's get searching!

Bowers thinks there are many out in the wild and estimates the misplaced MM is only 400 times rarer than the normal placement of which 410,875,300 were minted. That's why he's only donating the $1,000 for the finder of a Mint State piece.

This is a really cool thing for modern coin searchers. Maybe a CCF member will find one!

I have found a couple 1975-D nickels with the regular placement. I even bought two rolls for parking meter money with no luck. Keep looking!
