1901 Liberty Nickel

I'm new to this, but I agree with above. Liberty is r, date is prominent, hair lines are visible. There is a chip on the left side rim though. Not sure if that hurts it at all.

You'll need clean photos to get an approximate grade. Not sure if it's the photo or a coin that has some heavy pitting and has been cleaned.

We truly would enjoy helping ... but the pixelated images are not doing the true surfaces of this coin any justice (we hope).

Snap a few of your own photos when it arrives and post them ... we are capable of grading Liberty nickels and will offer our honest views.




There are plenty of resources available to support your learning ... I suspect a google search will yield some answers .. there are also plenty of fine reference books out there.

I can personally recommended Grading Coins by Photographs by Q. David Bowers ... you can find it on-line for under $15. Great visual reference.




Excellent. Willing to do whatever we can to help.

My guess- Coin was dropped on the ground early in it's life (before it was worn),
became pitted, was found, cleaned and sold. Good coin for a father/son album.

It is the picture that was used to sell it on eBay. I'll post my own picture when it arrives.
