@Errer and Varietys thank you for the input. I appreciate you being humble. It sounds like I found a decent piece to add to my collection.

That's actually a nice example. I agree with E&V at high VF grade range.

We are a friendly group of folks so you don't need to have concerns about how people will treat you. Feel free to contribute all you want.

Kay, when posting photos ensure they are properly oriented

XF45. the photos are a little cloudy. I think its actually better than the photos are showing. a little more lighting would also help.

Nice coin for its age.
Can you please crop and turn your pic the right way up please. I had to turn my monitor clockwise to see it right.

Agree with XF-40, a decent example of this common date nickel. In case you wanted to know, a reasonable value would be about $30. Most circulated Liberty nickels I see are badly worn and only worth a buck or two. This one is very nice by comparison.

It's "Pretty Darn Good" -
Miss Liberty's hair has a lot of details to it - I'd say lower AU condition!

Yeah, that's "reasonable" if you're a dealer -
Even thought the PCGS price guide is always on the high side - they list an 1887 Liberty nickel in 45 (Extra Fine) grade at $110.

Very nice coin with great details and I agree with XF40 or 45. I look forward to see other coins you may want to share.
