The 1965 nickel coin value depends largely on mint errors. Seven key errors to hunt include doubled dies (design elements appearing twice from double strikes), off-center strikes (misaligned coin images), and mint mark errors like doubled, inverted, or missing mint marks. Valuable specimens include the 2005 “speared bison” with die gouges, 1943 doubled die Jefferson nickels, and the famous 1937-D Buffalo nickel “three legs” error. The rare 1971 “No S” Jefferson nickel missing its San Francisco mint mark is particularly sought-after. War Nickels (1942-1945) containing 35% silver frequently display these errors. Coin roll hunting remains an effective method for discovering these valuable errors in pocket change today.
