I have a 1751-1951 nickel and the last A in GRATIA on the obverse definetly points at a denticle (not between denticles),which I am told makes it very valuable.
However I cant get the picture down to 100 KB to post here.

If someone would like to see it magnified (496 KB)please email me through the forum.

And please give me your opinion.
Thanks in advance.

It sounds like that's the '51 Sudbury commemorative. I think I also have two versions of that particular coin (low relief and high relief). However, the rare one is the high relief '51 steel nickel with the beaver reverse. In that case, the last "A" in GRATIA points to a denticle. That's the valuable one

Update: uh...that's right, the Sudbury plant wasn't around in 1751 lol!

The 5 cent coin commemorates the 200th anniversary of the isolation and naming of the element nickel.

Sorry to all.
My mistake.
Should have read the 60th Edition Charlton more carefully.
