Ok so as some of you know I am getting back to coin collecting after a break during college. now that I am out I am trying to do it a bit more seriously. I picked up $70 in nickels from the bank the other day and searched finding nothing special other than filling up my jefferson albums. Then in the last roll I am flipping through the nickels and this one catches my eye. i know its not great condition and i know the picture is terrible but I was so excited that I had to take a picture with my iphone right away. This made my night for sure. I will try to get better pictures up soon. Are these even worth anything?
Edit: I just finished looking through the rest of the roll and found another one that is a 1981P. Nothing for $68 in nickels but 2 in the last $2 worth haha.

Next time, more light, more coin, less area (in other words... crop the photo).
Make it look like this... then you might be able to get a better opinion.

That is one cool nickel.
Hoard the keys.
<< <i>Hard to make out but you can see that it is off strike nice find at face.
But, is it an off center or a misaligned die? I can't see it very well to tell.
And Thanks for the compliment dbldie55.

BTW, save any really nice '82 and '83 nickels. As CladKing has taught us, nice examples are hard to come by. I scored a prooflike '83-D in a roll a while ago and it's one of the most prized nickels in my set!
