axsprog New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 01/07/2020 11:11 pm Hello experts , and also non-experts(me). I have collected (hunted, mined, roll grazing) for many years and only recently (several years started to focus on errors, because simply I like finding them. I have beenm fortunate enough to find the 1969 no FG (twice) and though I do not think it is an error I have 2 1970 S small dates Lincolns and other unique finds I wont list. As I have learned the most of the error (one offs) or not yet given the nod by the top tier, do not bring the value of the certified/identified errors and varieties And I have learned from here that even if it s a one-off it has to be pretty spectacular to have more than face value. AS mentioned I hunt my coins I never(rarely) buy a coin - I have as gifts for family members and I do buy junk silver, but I do not purchase But I loved this nickel and I traded a very pristine proof like 1943 Steel Lincoln for it I know the value of the Lincoln but had no idea of the nickel. Please tell me did I win, lose or draw LOL Thank you so much. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

We need a pic of the other side of the coin too please. Thx.

It's either slightly off-center or a mis-aligned obverse die (MAD). Worth more than face value either way - but not by much. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 1:44 pm It is the type to save of MAD coins as some of the devices are falling over the edge of the coin: Not as valuable as an off center though. If the reverse is normal, then it is not an off center. (Mad reverses have the normal reverses on them) So an image of the reverse would be helpful. If you traded with a reprocessed steel cent, you got the better end of the deal. (The other guy got robbed) There were no Proof Steel cents. People replated them and they are just a face value coin when altered. (but still a Wheat cent) But worth nothing to a true collector. How can you tell if it was replated? Note the top image. The surface should not be shiny. The bottom one was re-processed/re-plated. Report this Post to the Staff
