Oh, my God ... I can not believe how lucky I got in the first days of the new year, but my date really looks the same! And my coin has the same line die crack as coin from Heritage:   |

Yeah for you! But I wonder why the dealer knew what he had and didn't sell at a higher price  Anyway, yeah for you!  |

Yay for you and Happy New Year!
And wow, I think your coin doesn't just look like the Heritage coin, I think it is the SAME coin. Where did you find that picture, in their CoinFacts or archives?
[edit: I misread, though you said you saw it on PCGS but you said Heritage. Anyway, looks like the exact same coin. SCORE!]

On Heritage's site, the status of that coin is that it sold for $13,800 on 10/13/11 with the note "This item's Owner is proactively entertaining Offers". Hmmm.
I tried enlarging the photos of that auctioned coin but didn't come up with clear pictures like you did, bobo13. Is this the coin in your comparison pictures? I searched Heritage but didn't find another.

I didn't mean to imply anything amiss; didn't realize all 4 images were from the same coin.
You, sir, are a winner if you paid less than $US10,000 for that coin. I urge you to explore your options regarding having the coin authenticated and graded by PCGS Europe.

that nickel has been hiding in plain sight for 140 years...i mean think about that...it was saved early because it was an American coin that made its way to Europe and wound up in some admirers pocket...now all these years later, here she is...unreal story too, a coin dealer that didn't know the variety they had...based on the story I say you paid 250euro....that's a lotto win there man...but do not sell it unless you need the money, I mean hold that puppy for a while, that's a true rarity поздравления

Dsfreeworld, I think this coin really had interesting story.
But, why do you think it is not wise to sell now, is there any reduced demand and lower prices at the moment of rare U.S. coins?

Yes. My biggest hit after five years trading online and over 30,000 coins sold /mostly in Bulgaria/
In my city average salary is about 250-350 Euro per month...
