The chances of a coin being minted with one of the dies missing is not very high, at least not in 1974. Someone has removed the design on the reverse or it is not a real nickel. It has to be authenticated, before a value can be even thought of. You can see a dealer, he would know if it is a damaged coin, done outside the mint. Of course the first clue is the rim, if not there, then the reverse was removed by someone. The rims are put on before the coin is struck. Best bet, see a coin dealer, even better see 2 of them.

Firstly, things like that can be VERY valuable. Great find! The only way to get a reliable estimate would be to take it to a coin expert. If you plan on selling it, look at various options before diving in (one of 'em may fetch more for you).

I would take it to a dealer or look for a dealer online but if they offer to buy it from you, dont accept because they will turn around and sell it for a lot more. You might want to contact an auction house. If it is auctioned you might get more money.

Go to a reputable coin dealer and ask your question. Good Luck
