I picked up a replacement Shield nickel (without rays) recently and wanted to see what the CCF has to say about it in comparison to PCGS. Thank you for your interest!   Edited by oih82w8

I believe it is a weak strike and stars aren't worn, so I would say MS64.
EDIT: But I would not be suprised if it is AU58 coin:)

I see no wear, MS-64 maybe? The date has some serious doubling though  |

MS-63, although I could see it going MS-64. Its a tough call.
Very cool doubled date! Did PCGS attribute it as such?

Did they call it 303 or 309? The two are pretty similar; in fact, the die crack from the left leaves certainly seems identical on both. Wonder how that works.
OTOH, that crack on yours is less well-developed than the 303 and 309 examples I looked at, and neither of those have the cracking yours has through the date. To my mind, then, it can't be either.
Interesting.

I am not sure who to believe...PCGS or the CCF Members. Although our extended family member thusdayclub did mention the PCGS grade as a possibility.
...and a shout out to Gail at J.J. Teaparty from whom I purchased this one from.

I think I see a tiny bit of wear on the left-inner side of the shield. a beauty nonetheless |
