Hi all! First post in the error coin section. My son and I found this nickel while CRH'ing. He was excited, always likes something different. I read through this forum and it sounds like if the other side is normal, than it is a misaligned die strike. Just curious on people's take on this coin. Thanks!  |

Sure looks like a MAD.
Can you post the reverse.

Misaligned Dies are only valuable when the devices are falling of the edges. Your coin falls into that category. This is a very nice example of a MAD. Hold on to this one, it is a really nice find!

Thank you Dustin6 for the feedback! As far as value, is it like a $0.50 find, or a couple bucks? I want to surprise my son when he gets home as to what he found :) Thanks so much!

As far as value goes, you could check on ebay to see what something like that is going for. I'd estimate $2-$3 but I'm not fully positive. Could be a little more, or a little less, but somewhere in that range. |

 Note the reverse at 2:00-5:00. That area is weak because the hammer die was offset and not centered over the anvil die. A keeper. Here is why your coin looks that way:  Note illustration on the left hand side. It shows the incorrect centering of the hammer die. Edited by coop

Great find! I'd put the value higher than what Dustin6 posted, I think it's worth maybe $8.
The thing is, the prices for error coins are all over the place and change from month to month.
