Neffchiro Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 02/19/2008 9:40 pm I went through a box of nickels tonight and found some great coins: 1902 Liberty Head Nickel! 1938 1939 x2 1941 x2 1943 1945D (Silver) 1946D 1947 1948D 1949S Loads of early and mid 50's dates 2000 Canada 5 cent piece Two Headed Nickel (being an amateur magician, I have loads of these, but never seen them in circulation!) I also found a coin that might be a die error. I'm basing this on hope and no skill, so maybe someone can chime in and enlighten me. The nickel seems fairly well struck, except for the end of LIBERTY and the date. The mint mark (D) is clear. Here's a picture: Here's a picture of the 1902 nickel. I'm guessing this is a G or VG grade, but I'm still learning grading... Just thought I'd gloat over my finds. Thanks for listening! :) Brandon Report this Post to the Staff

chill Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 02/19/2008 10:46 pm Nice find on the Liberty head! (and the silver) I usually find 40-50s every time I search. I get $40 worth at a time. Not sure about the 'error' though not skilled enough to say. Looks like you had a lot of fun. Make sure to check the ones you kept for varieties. Report this Post to the Staff

skelly423 Valued Member Canada 187 Posts	Posted 02/20/2008 1:55 pm Does the 2000 Canadian have a small P under the Queen's bust? If it does, you've got a rarer one (worth a buck or two depending on condition) Report this Post to the Staff
gbchaosmaster Valued Member United States 328 Posts	Posted 02/20/2008 5:07 pm My RedBook says a VF20 1943P Nickel is worth $100. Looks like another mistake, the same coin is worth only $15 in MS65. Don't see anything else. Report this Post to the Staff
