Everybody pulled the "no cents" version out of circulation quickly because of the "error."

The no cents nickels are available by the roll in lower mintstate and AU and were saved by the hundreds.

Speculation, people knew there was going to be a change, and they assumed the first style would be worth more. Just a spin of the wheel I guess.

It’s all in the number of survivors. People saved the “No Cents” coins because they were a “mistake.” They spent the regular ones.

Mintage is secondary to the number of coins that have survived. That’s the more important supply number.

Conversely if you want a Proof “No Cents” nickel the price is higher because it was a one year type, and the number of pieces available is lower.
