1983-D Nickel I Have No Idea Need Help

Your Nickel looks like it was struck from a heavilyw orn and deteriorated die.
That die should have been retired long before it got to this stage.

Severe DDD and a keeper.

Guessing no added value.



to the CCF!

My post signature below this message carries a bit of meaning, I pray.

It took time to do all my cut/pasting and in that time @ijn1944 posted a sentiment similar to mine. Apologies if this comes across as repetitious.

I find the interchange fascinating. @Coinfrog (rightfully) offered:




The offering assumes the most logical interpretation of @BizzyBonez's question.




@Coinfrog inserts the adjective "monetary" or "sales" before "value."

@John1 on the other hand is less restrictive i. e. no adjective.

@JimmyD informs the exchanges in case the OP is open to learning.

Just a good exploration by all. I find this refreshing in this era of "You're on your own. Stay out of my life."

I'll add, if I may, that, if preserved, the nickel cannot fail to acquire added value in one form or another when passed to his son.

Definitely DDD, but I think only a keeper if you really want it. Bad Die Deterioration on nickels is more common than other denominations for some reason in my experience, so you will see a lot for more "education" than you ever wanted.
