Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted August 23, 2019 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted August 23, 2019 That's close but not quite highly placed enough to be labeled as the Misplaced Mintmark variety. Here's the real deal: https://www.ngccoin.com/variety-plus/united-states/nickels/jefferson-five-cents-1938-date/819769/ jeruiz and Crawtomatic 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 The MM were hand punched until 1990 so they can be anywhere in that area. Yours is a little higher than normal but not high enough to be called the high MM jeruiz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Coast Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I'm pretty sure this is the "High D" 1975 nickel but I would like verification from someone smarter than me! It appears that "value" really isn't established yet since there have been so few that have sold so anyone wanting to guess at it would be appreciated!

Welcome to the forum, in the future please start your own thread as it makes it difficult when multiple coins are shown especially when the thread is older. Your photos appear out of focus on my screen but it does look to be a high mm coin. I have no idea on the value as I don't collect errors, however your coin has a significant number of cuts, hits, and abrasions and that will affect the value somewhat. I suggest that you search the Heritage archives for any auctions for this to get a feel for a value. Mountain Coast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conder101 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 It is the "high mintmark". I don't know if these really have any collectible value. These came to notice when Q David Bowers saw one and found the unusual placement of the mintmark interesting. He made an offer of $1,000 for the first person that could provide him with an uncirculated specimen. I am sure that reward has long since been collected. As far as I know this "variety" has no price guide listings of any sort but it is still remembered because of that old reward offer.
