 Very cool! Are you going to slab it? |

I probably won't slab it. I have never stabbed a coin before although I have a growing list of items worthy of slabbing.

I agree on the value. Unless you put it in a PCGS slab, I see little value in the slab. The value of the certification is offset by the impact on the ability to weigh, test magnetism properly etc. I would leave it alone.

No need to slab it, unless you wish to have it independently graded for selling.
Considering it's potential value you may wish to
enclose it in a piece stiff folded acrylic sheet, cut from food packaging, then put in a normal 2x2 cardboard Mylar flip.

That has to be the most well struck beaver I have ever seen on a pre-1990 nickel. Nice piece.

If I was selling this coin, I'd send it to PCGS with the source planchet attribution, and would probably get $400 for it.

thanks for all of the replies. I was hoping its value would be more than $200 so I am pleased!
I bought several errors from a very well known and reputable dealer but I was surprised on a couple of his prices... this coin for $125 and an off center (maybe 10% off center) 1977 5 cent for $125. I didn't buy the off center 1977 because I thought he was way high on it. and I thought he was way low on this coin so I grabbed it!
