Just Bob Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I am not seeing an off center strike, and the weird date is the result of damage, as Tom stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numismatic, A.A.S. Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 The 1971 proof penny..(.you have a business strike)..is extremely rare in ultra heavy/deep Cameo in high grade ie, 68,69,70.... Enter into that realm...then call me.... P.S. Arm yourself with thousands of dollars before entering.......peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kramden Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi Bob. So what makes em so valueable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conder101 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 They are 35% silver and regular five cent pieces have 0% silver. Silver cost a lot more than copper or nickel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BipolarBaby Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 1 hour ago, kramden said: so these r only a couple of bucks. thats valueable?????? Yea, not too valuable, just your regular silver war nickels and a 1954 nickel. There are some different varieties to the nickel. I believe how many "steps" that are in front of the Monticello could determine the value greater or not. Some info on the steps here: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-fs-full-step-designation-for-jefferson-nickels-defined-photographically.49827/ Although by those pictures I don't think you'll be able to tell how many steps there are on those coins. You got about 2.60$ in silver there, figure you'll get around that for the nickels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole step issue is with mint state coins only, as far as I know. I do know that it definitely does not apply to well circulated coins such as the ones pictured......it's pretty hard to count steps when they're worn off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
