Canada Nickel (Commemorative) 1951

So what happened in 1751 that this 1951 nickel commemorates? Ah. You may have guessed it, but probably not! Wikipedia: In 1951, a special commemorative five-cent piece depicting a nickel refinery was struck to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the metal's discovery by Swedish chemist Axel F. Cronstedt. Due to the onset of the Korean War, production of this commemorative was halted to preserve nickel for the war effort, resulting in a second non-commemorative 1951 nickel made of plated steel.

If you have a circulated commemorative nickel, it is pretty much worth face value: 5 cents in Canada. But uncirculated coins are bringing upwards of $5 on eBay as they find their way into collections.
