I was debating on sending this 1971-P Jefferson Nickel in for full step grading. Much to my surprise it is a 1971-D
Does any one think this nickel is worthy of grading. I am really new at this and would appreciate any Info.

Me thinks the two nicks across the steps is not a good sign. But what do I know. Peace Roy

Maybe this has value as a packaging error!Generally, mint packaging mistakes do not add any additional value and many times it can actually reduce the value. Some collectors purchase mint sets to get one uncirculated example of each coin minted that year. They can't do that if there's a packaging mistake.
Maybe you could find somebody who might be interested in it as a novelty and pay extra, but that might be challenging.

I've heard of it happening and it iis a curiosity for sure. But, since it it possible to maybe fake such a packaging error I don't think they would ever bring huge money.
