    It's not easy to see the micro-cracking on this coin without and I peace but you can see the die mark at the 8 position on the back of the coin just below the buffalos head the reason that Mark is there is because all five of the 1927 special strike nickels were struck with different dyes all five of them has that dime mark. Regular 1927 nickels do not have it none of them. Tell me what you think of course you will have to look up the 1927 special strike nickel and get a description of the coin so you can compare this coin.

    That's okay, as long as you don't spit your drink on the computer.

    I was one of the buyers of these when they showed up (raw) in the Harmer-Rooke auction about 30 years ago. This specific piece is not recalled, but would have stood out as "speeshul" even then. :#

    The Mint was experimenting with chromium plated dies and a few nickels were struck in 1927 for test purposes. The OP will find a summary in From Mint to Mint.

    I thought I had an obverse pic in my files, but I can't locate it.

    This is the reverse of the 1927-P Special.

    No one else has asked, so it must be only me who is behind the curve here...

    1) why is the label strategically covered so we can't see the attribution (or lack thereof)? Could you
    please lose the normal nickel and show us the full "special" nickel?

    2) what the heck does this mean: "all five of the 1927 special strike nickels were struck with different dyes all five of them has that dime mark. "

    The five nickels were struck with different "dyes" (were they printed?) and they all have the same ("dime") mark? Did the hub have this mark on it? I would not expect five nickels struck from different dyes or dies to have the same mark.

    I am usually a bit sharper on Saturdays since I can sleep later, but today I can't seem to catch a clue, assuming there is a clue to be caught, and I am not so sure on that....

    Is there 5 known, or 3? Be pretty excited if I found one of these seeing as they go 40-50k.

    Here's pics of the obv and rev. Last I heard the number known was three. Note the complete full strike. Normal 1927 dated coins never come like this-at least, I've never seen one. Images courtesy of Heritage.

    There are two markers on the hub for the reverse dies used on all T II 5c proofs 1913-1916. One is a triangular backwards-facing die chip coming out of the back of the top of the "D". The other is a arrow-straight incuse line on the inside border of the rim about 7:30-8:15 which @CaptHenway cannot explain either :o

    The same reverse hub was never used again by the Phjiladelphia Mint except in the production of the '27-P special finish coins.

    I have also seen (in-hand) this reverse die used on a 1917 proof. @MrEureka has seen two. Probative research on Moby Buff.. nil :s .

    A link to an HA Archive lot where their micro-focus feature can be used is much needed if it's to be seen clearly.

    5 known from Harmer-Rooke and no others appearing since.

    The OP is still very new at posting, but obviously developed his "speeshul" trolling moves before he got here >:)B)

    Thanks for the nicknames and the show of respect. Did it really surprise you that there are 1927 special strike nickels there's also 1964 special strike pennies that's very valuable and don't many people know about them not even professionals coin collections and dealer and none of them know about or I should say very few. My name is Walter and I just wanted to introduce you to the 1927 special strike nickel and the 1964 special strike penny both of which or extremely rare I wish you peace and love.

    1927 nickels have been known of years. 1964 special strike "pennies" are bologna.

    I can only assume that PCGS got it "wrong", too, and failed to recognize how "special" this coin is.

    That holder is also pretty beat up for a rarer than rare coin, another warning flag for me.
