PCGS needs to pull the trigger on this one and add it to the list of coins in the Complete Variety Set! It is listed in the Fourth Edition Cherry Pickers Appendix, but was not featured in the main text. This variety is featured on John Wexler's website and noted in James Wiles' Jefferson Nickel RPM Book.
Who agrees?
What other varieties should be added? 1953-D/Inverted D for another!

Alas ...
That's a great coin!
On rarity, the only record I have seen is with CONECA and they show a population of 8. Other than this, I can only provide my assessment of rarity as "a really tough one!"
I have been fortunate enough to have viewed 3 in ICG holders. This coin is one of them.
<< <i>What other varieties should be added? >>
The 1977-D Kennedy DDO is in the exact same scenario in that its listed in the Appendix of Volume 2 but not in the main text.
Unfortunately, since PCGS usually relies heavily upon the "pictures" in the CPG for attribution (vs other more reliable documentation) they'll not budge on including the coin.
On the PLUS side, there's nothing preventing a dedicated collector from searching for and collecting these for their complete sets.

Nice to know Tom has a something in common with John.
<< <i>djd - show us the goods and let a bidding war decide what it is worth! >>
I already sold the coin on ebay
<< <i>The coin is worth a hefty premium, like 20x what you sold it for. >>
Say it ain't so
Tough one! It would be nice for us collectors to know an MS66FS sample exists, but for you to know you sold it.......maybe you don't want to know!
I believe it's value most likely exceeds that of the 1953-D/InvertedD. Someone paid $1300 for a MS66 and I did a trade close to that amount for a ms66 example that I once had. So a MS66 1958-D/Inverted might be in the $1800 to $3500 range.

Nope now I have to know! Im gonna try and get to my other computer tonight. I really hope it wasn't
With an ICG MS64 (TN forgot to mention this!) close to the bottom of the range you suggested, an MS65 would come in close to that top number. Until an MS66 shows up or one with FS, either one might pop in over that range!
I agree with a previous comment, "never mind what PCGS says", this is a great coin in any grade!
Very nice pictures and coin, but you do not need to get sick! You sold a nice 58-D at a good price. This is not the Inverted D variety. With these nice pictures you would have been able to see the Inverted D looping out into the field. If you go back to my picture, notice where you should see the loop of the D and the separation from the verticle portion of the proper D.
Let me know if you disagree. Don't loose any sleep tonight!

I agree it doesnt look like your coin's mint mint, thank god for that lol! It does have something going on with the mint mark but as long as it isnt the variety yours is im happy

But this nickel does appear to have the familiar arcing die break at the 2nd window to the left side of the 1st pillar on the Monticello. The top portion is faint but appears to start at the lower left corner of the window. What's significant about this die break is that it appears on many 6 step examples of this date. The picture to my example is small but the arc die break is there and I believe one can be seen in the Corso's collection in the registry.
Forgot to add, the OP's coin appears to be a later die state example.

djd - From my reverse picture (as small as it is!), notice the difference in what you see going on with the Ds.
Leo - Yes, a little later die state on this one.
<< <i>Added pictures. I need to learn how to bring in larger pictures!

I can see a big difference between the 2. My coin def is not the variety.
I'm sorry! I was referring to Don's coin being a later die state showing the die break arc but you are the OP.
But since you brought it up, I find it interesting that your 1958-D/Inverted D is of a later die state nature. Did they, the mint, stamp the mint mark on a worn or MDS master die......you would think there's got to be a chit load of these coins out there somewhere.
