Does anyone here have any information on a 1970 Proof set containing a nickel with clashed dies?

A client of ours has a 1970 Proof set containing a nickel which displays obviously/strongly (and coolly!) clashed dies. He also has a 1971 letter from Coin World, stating that the nickel was indeed struck from clashed dies and that they planned to use the images he provided in a feature on Proof coins. Coin World followed through and displayed a photo of the nickel in their March 10, 1971 article on "People Closely Checking Recent Proof, Mint Sets".

Does anyone know anything about such a set? Does the nickel have any significant value as such? Is it worthwhile to get the nickel certified? Thanks for any information or help that you can provide.

With the quality control they have with proofs, I can't imagine that they would let too many of those out.

TwoDogs has a proofset, a 1971 I think, that has a very noticeable die clash on the dime.

Frank, you'd better get in touch with your attorney, ASAP - I'm giving serious thought to a big-time libel suit! It wouldn't have been so bad if you hadn't SHOUTED it out for everyone to hear
