I inherited a large collection of coins that had been untouched since the mid-sixties. One of these is the apparent counterfeit nickel. So, is it legal to own? If so, is there any value? There wer also some other nice coins: A 1928 D nickel, a few 1863 and 1859 pennies in near mint state, a Roman Agrippa 2 at least that's what the label says.  *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Looks like a damaged 1910. Not illegal.

it is a real Liberty V nickel, a well placed hit altered the 0, not a counterfeit, worth @ $.35. Show us your others, The Indian heads in AU, are worth a bit, as long as they're just not cleaned shiny. Post that Roman Agrippa! Roman imperial and Jewish ruler is quite interesting, interesting period of history...  |

 I agree that it is a 1910 Liberty nickel and the 0 took a hit making it resemble a 3. Please do post any others that are interesting!  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Obviously an altered date. No value.
So obvious, it wouldn't fool ANY serious nickel collector.
Keep it!
It is the only way you will ever be able to get a '13 Liberty Head Nickel.
I don't have a fake of one of these, but I wouldn't mind adding one to my 'black' collection. I already have an 1804 Dollar, also no value.

Not a hit, a deliberately, and poorly, altered 1910. Guy I knew in Louisville used to make 1913's by altering 1910's, but he did a better job of it.

It at least has sentimental value.  |
