Most of the nickels I highlight will be because they have an error. The 1945 (P) Nickel is another in this series with an error. This is a double die strike error on the reverse. A MS-65 quality 1945 (P) nickel with this error is worth about $800. All the other nickels this year in MS-65 condition are worth approximately $20.
