I recently purchased a silver collection that also had a container of nickel 5 Cent coins all dating between 1922 -1962, I paid face value for the nickel coins $87.35.
I came across this 1953 that caught my attention and I thought I'd perhaps share here.
Zoell described this coin in 1961, 1st edition as a closed five variety and assigned ID number 180N.
In the 2nd edition from 1962 the ID number was changed to XK185q.
The number would again be changed in 1965 in the 3rd edition to P185q

Zoell's "editions" changed, via content, from when he started to where he ended in the 60's. At first, he had both minor and major varieties in one book. I think with the 3rd or 4th editions, he had split the major and minor anomalies and assigned new, different Zoell #'s. Once that happened, the "major" varieties took off much faster than the minor errors. A "major" variety was a coin that was changed by the mint, with good palanchets, good undamaged dies, proper pressure, and good machinery & adjustments. Yours, with a die chip or DD is an error, not a variety.
