Shield nickel Stunning error but how much to bid ?

[dooly]

Hi there with my proffits from my Ebay sale i fancy "re-investing" in this coin

 

it is listed on an auction room ebay thingy (i have not been one before)

 

but i have no idea on the value of such an error.. the starting bid is $650 what do you think

 

 

[DirtyGoldMan]

Neat coin! I have no idea what these are worth, but you might check the Heritage auction archives in the "error" category to see if this or any similar coin has traded through Heritage before.

 

I know someone who should be interested...

Looks like a Heritage coin. Currently bid up to $850 on Heritage.

Here's a link to another double struck Shield nickel that sold for over $4000.

Gess i am going to have to sell some more coins them if i fancy one of these

[MunkyMan95]

Buy a nice MS shield instead. They can be had for much less money. Maybe even a proof shield nickel!

[Zoins]

Very cool. I like seeing classic errors

I'll stay out of your way on this one. Have fun!

Shield nickel errors are pretty rare, and therefore difficult to price. As someone else suggested, Heritage auction archives would be your best bet, but I doubt if you will find many datapoints.

I think IGWT is trying to psyche you out.

That chemical word doesn't count because it's never been used by chemists

I know my dads a chemist and he could not get a bottle big enough to put it on

[MunkyMan95]

I was just thinking... What if you had to mail something to Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukaka pikimaunga horonukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu ? You'd need a dozen envelopes to write it on!
