Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 12:03 pm That is only slightly over the tolerance of around 5.20 g and I doubt there would be a premium. Your scale may need to be recalibrated also. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 12:10 pm It is only .04g overweight even if your scale is accurate. Such a small amount would not bring any premium. But it is a nice looking nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6506 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 12:27 pm While that isn't so far over tolerance, it's curious for a proof nickel. I would stash it in a 2x2 as a slightly unusual coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 1:28 pm Typical run of the mill proof nickel for the period. Nothing special about it . No deep cam , typical strike . Dealer bargain bins yield these treasures for a dollar to two dollars . Report this Post to the Staff
