If this was a real error and I am not convinced it is,
what is it worth around $10?

 

Because of the listed price, I think it's just a way to find its real value via the make an offer option.

 

it is graded by NGC... I am only guessing here, but wouldn't it fall under somewhere along the lines of missing clad layer? or is this something totally different?

 

The weight is pretty close to 5 g.
If the planchet is clad, then it must be from quarter stock since the densities of the two coins are similar both being primarily copper, and their thicknesses are also similar.
There may only be "1 known" but they must have punched out a whole strip of nickels from a quarter planchet sheet.

 

NGC says it’s the only mint error for that year graded at MS63 FS. Talk about jumping off the deep end with a price.

 

OK I will go as high as $20.

 

Make him an offer. You probably know as much about its worth as the seller does.

 

I actually know this guy and have bought from him before. He ridiculously inflates these on purpose as a marketing gimmick but often comes close to reasonable prices.

He listed this coin for $99,999 below which I later purchased. It is a centered broadstruck SBA struck on a proof type 1 blank. There are only about 3-4 known. I did my research and saw a couple others sold for around $450 - $600. I offered $600 as it was amazingly toned and he accepted after a few days of negotiation.

 

I think it's a error label and should say either improperly annealed or sintered planchet.

 

Would they test the metal to see if it contained nickel?
Before labeling it clad? (IDK that's why I am asking.)

 

You would be able to tell from the edge if it is clad or not very easily. Here is a 1987 nickel I have struck on 25c clad stock.



The other guy's nickel is peculiar. It is almost the exact weight a nickel should be. Would the weight for clad and nickel be this close for a normal-sized nickel? Usually improperly annealed or sintered clad looks much darker with more of a steel-grey look. This one looks more like a partial plating. But then why not just say that?

 

What does your 1987 nickel on quarter stock weigh JCro?

 

Would love to be able to see the edge of the coin.

I've handled four 'Clad Nickels' (most are 1987),
and this one doesn't look like them....

.....not sure what it is, but from the photos only, and not
handling the coin like NGC has, to research it, it looks like
a mis-annealed planchet with some copper layer flaking off.

That look is usually from the copper content of a normal
nickel, and then having the planchet being mis-annealed.

 

You sold me the one in my above post, @Fred Weinberg! It is among my favorites!

 

The appearance of the lead-off nickel is indistinguishable from an improperly annealed planchet.

 

I have a 2011 Jefferson nickel .on refers is almost all blank so is the adverse side.it also has a cut on two sides. I know that it is an error I know a little,about the coins.and errors.I need someone to help me out with an auction.the coin I have will bring over 20k.i saw one online with one error sell for 25k.mine has 4 errors.

Please. If you know a little, you'd know that it is Obverse and Reverse.
