Grunt0311 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 07/22/2020 11:46 am Good Morning, I wanted to see if I could get some assistance on (4) 1954S Nickels that I have. I had purchased a roll of these coins and while going through them discovered an "O" die clash. I sent the coins off to CONECA and had them attributed and confirmed. All four coins I have comparing to PCGS should grade between MS62 - MS66. However I have been searching all over the internet, forums, ebay, Facebook, PCGS, heritage auctions, variety vista, Wexler and can't find any 1954S nickels with a die clash or like mine to determine value. Is this one of those since they are rare discovery they could potentially command a premium? Any help you could provide would be great and thank you for your time and attention in this matter, photos attached. Report this Post to the Staff

Grunt0311 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 07/22/2020 1:15 pm Thanks Chase007, is there any way to help to determine the value or what this may command or since its a minor premium best to just hold onto for the cool factor? Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19154 Posts	Posted 07/22/2020 1:49 pm Value ultimately is determined by what the market place will bring. Since the clash appears somewhat soft/faint (and localized), it's my opinion the coin won't yield near enough for a hefty down payment on a 2015 Ford Escape. Report this Post to the Staff

Grunt0311 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 07/22/2020 1:55 pm LOL, I did not think It would be anywhere in the thousands, but maybe hundred range just trying to see if it may be worth grading or just list as is, I have 4 and just submitted to have it added to mad die clashes after speaking with blue ridge silver hound and check my coin folks.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/23/2020 01:25 am Die clashes, unless extremely strong like that 2000 nickel, do not draw much interest or attention because they are too common. Unless you can find someone putting together a full date and mint set ALL with die clashes, you are probably looking at a premium of a dollar or two. Report this Post to the Staff

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 07/23/2020 4:17 pm A dollar or two is a dollar or two. If you want to find out, check sold listing on ebay, and / or list one. Just have really good pictures and description. Still pretty cool. Report this Post to the Staff
Grunt0311 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 07/23/2020 4:19 pm Thanks for the welcome and thanks for you r feedback, we are planning on listing one on ebay. Like you said just checking around right now and seeing what normal comps go for so I'm not overpricing and just let the bids do what they do from there. Report this Post to the Staff
