Good morning Coin Collectors!

Boy am I glad you all are here! I was at my local watering hole yesterday, getting my girlfriend and me some frozen Slurpee™#65039; deliciousness. I paid my money due to my buddy behind the counter, and he produced my change. I received back .66 and within the .66, I found what I believe to be a Diamond in the Rough! I got back this 1974 Jefferson nickel, which looks like it may have multiple Minting errors. So my new found friends, can you please help me figure out if what I have here is Hero or Zero?

Thank You in advance
Joshua

Appears to be a clipped planchet. http://www.error-ref.com/_curved_clips_/

Perhaps worth a very small premium to a collector of such errors, if it is indeed a clipped planchet.

The clip might make it worth $1 or $2. Nice find. The D (Denver) mint mark is below the date.

Maybe enough value for a second Slurpee. Maybe.

@jlev, first welcome to CCF. Second, yes that one is worth saving in a 2x2. Nice find!

The best way to sell coins that have a low value is to bundle them with others and sell them in a lot. That way the cost is only for one fee not several fees, for each coin. They may pay more is the selection is what the buyer wants and on auction, they may pay more to get the coin they want?
