Not what I was expecting, but quite the mistake.

Filled D to boot.

Also appears to be described as a nickel:

1914-D 5C AU58 PCGS. PCGS Population (170/982). NGC Census: (115/658). Mintage: 3,912,000. Numismedia Wsl. Price for problem free NGC/PCGS coin in AU58: $345. (NGC ID# 22R5, PCGS# 3925)

Very interesting

In the PCGS certification database, it's also denoted as a nickel with a value referencing the 1914-D AU58 Buffalo Nickel of $550 instead of the 1914-D AU58 Gold $5 Indian of $460.

Maybe someone removed the buffalo nickel and replaced it with $5 gold?

It's my understanding that the slabs are constructed and sealed in such a way that it's impossible to open one up, change the coin, and reseal it without having obvious damage visible to the slab.

I would like to know how something like this has not been noticed by PCGS, the owner and HA. Does not make cents to me.

This is just a typo... or 'mechanical error'...I am sure they would correct it...Cheers, RickO

Maybe is just toned in a way to make it look like that.

I would give a penny for the thoughts of PCGS, the owner and HA, without trying to nickel and dime them to death. I would say that if they ignore the issue, NO QUARTER for the Half lings. Probably for a big company like HA and PCGS, just another day, another dollar.

Must be a pattern....;-)

Maybe it is a gold plated Indian Head Nickel. I seem to recall an article in a newspaper from around 1914 where someone was caught trying to pass a gilded nickel. Maybe this is it and it was an excellent job of gilding.

Worth more as a nickel.

They don't type that by hand, they pull the data from PCGS.

I'll take a bunch of those 5 cent coins. Prettiest nickel I have seen.

A real "gold" nickel.
