Just picked up this ungraded 3c piece to add to my "nickel" type collection. Thoughts on a grade? I love these! May need more.

Has it been gold plated, or is that your lighting?

Fuzzy317, it's the lighting, but it does have more of a copper hue than white nickel.

Clearly AU sharpness, but that color leaves me wondering.

Different lighting. The coin has a slight gold tint in in your hand. Does anyone suspect counterfeit. I don't see any major tells.
