'83 "V" plus 2011 LAM ERROR SHIELD CENT

nickel is "NO CENTS" version, 4X more value if it had Cents, but 12 bucks for a nic is just fine. the penny is $12 to $15, small piece missing and larger area at date is peeling. if you only look for silver you are saving the other goodies for me, so thanks in advance. HH

Great finds and that V nic is in great condition too - Im guessing about VF or so - which makes it an ever better find. Congrats!

Very nice. That's a great find.

Nice V nick. One way to increase its value is to just give it a gold plating and pass it off as a $5 gold piece.

You beat me to it, baddbluff.
And for those who don't know, that is a 1 year only design. They changed the 1883 liberty V nickels to the "V cents" variety later in the year because people were painting them gold and passing them off as a $5 gold piece.
In 1883 $.05 and $5.00 was a HUGE difference in what you could purchase.
Great find by the way!

Great on the nickel! Unfortunately that isn't a lamination error. Starting in 1982 cents were made with a solid zinc core with a copper plating. What you have is a plating issue.
