fmtaxguy Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 05/27/2009 12:01 pm I do not generally collect error coins, and subsequently know little about rarities and values. Your help and education is most appreciated, as always. How rare is a Jefferson nickel, mid-1950's, struck on a cent planchet? It is slabbed and designated genuine by NGC, and weighs out at the appropriate 3.1 grams. Any ideas on the degree of rarity and possible market value. Thanks in advance for sharing all of your knowledge on the subject. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/27/2009 12:24 pm I can tell you this much- off metal errors like that are rare enough to be worth several hundred dollars or more. A big part of the value is age, condition, and denominations/metals involved. Edited by biokemist6 05/27/2009 12:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
fmtaxguy Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 05/27/2009 12:41 pm Thanks, biokemist6. To recap, it is a Jefferson nickel punched onto a legit 3.1 gram cent planchet, from the mid-1950's. All other contributions are welcomed and appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 05/27/2009 6:45 pm Hi , It would also depend on the date, if visible. A 1950 D nickel on a cent planchet would have much more value than a 1954D or a 1957 D. The date would help us a little bit. I know you had mentioned the mid-fifties but I am just trying to make a point. Even a 1955 nickel on a cent planchet would be worth more than the others mentioned. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
fmtaxguy Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 05/27/2009 8:38 pm I am trying to figure out how to upload the seller's pictures, as popularly demanded, but am having trouble reducing the file to meet the upper size limits for posting. I will post as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience. Report this Post to the Staff

fmtaxguy Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 05/27/2009 9:25 pm Thanks, madzdad71. However, you must realize that you are attempting to direct someone decidedly low-tech. I have difficulty navigating such technologies as light switches and coat hangers and, thus, your doubtlessly clear instructions went zooming past my meager comprehension. But let me try another way: Ahh! Apparent success! Hurray for life's little victories... Report this Post to the Staff

fmtaxguy Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 05/27/2009 10:26 pm Thanks! Any idea on how rare this one may be, or it's value? I know of know way, or no free, online sites, to find values of error coins. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 05/27/2009 10:33 pm I believe that in the back of current Red Books you can find there is some values for wrong planchets. You can maybe search completed items on ebay. Use nickel struck on cent as keywords. I see they are listed on ebay. Looks like a 250. coin to me, as it is quite a bit older, yet cleaned. My guesstimate. Edited by TNG 05/27/2009 10:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
fmtaxguy Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 05/27/2009 10:45 pm Wheezydog, thank you for the suggestion of the Red Book. I never would have thought to look there. You've made a good resource even better. Now all I have to do is to commit next weekend to learning how to read. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 05/27/2009 11:05 pm LOL Well now I don't believe you there about learning to read or else you wouldn't be here in the forum. That's what we are here for, we help each other. I like that signature about singing pigs! Report this Post to the Staff
