How much would you pay for an 1885 V nickel NGC certified with environmental damage in ag condition |

Gee, what is the condition of the rest of the set?
1885s in AG are common. VG and above are scarce to rare.
I probably would pass.
I bought one in VF-20 years ago.

If you are able to post a picture that would really help. Not all AG V nics are equal and doubly so with environmental damage. Environmental damage can really impact eye appeal so it is very difficult to give a range.

It looks not to be too bad, I would probably want to pay Fair02 money for it, (in the $125 range). Quote:

$100-125 range.
If you can find a 1943 copper cent, I'll shave my head!

Online priceguides are for the most part, inaccurate.
To get a real feel of what coins are selling for, check past auction results like Heritage.
AG details coins like yours, are selling from $90-125.

Personally ... zero. That's right ... a damaged coin is always a damaged coin and has no place in my set. Quote:

First, congratulations on the accomplishment!
Personally wouldn't buy it. $100 or so is what I would have said. My advice would be to slow your roll and tweek the quality up a little bit and you will be happier in the long run. If you are a true collector, you will never be "finished" anyway. There will not be a day when I buy a coin and say "ok, I'm done". There is no hurry!
What does your 1880 Shield look like?

It almost looks like the NGC "environmental damage" notation is due to a deliberate chemical date restoration and not due to being left out in the woods for a hundred years. My guess is it was originally a dateless coin from wear and it got a full restoration. If it helps fill a hole in your album at a price you like is all that matters. Kool pick up!
