KHatt Valued Member Canada 291 Posts	Posted 03/06/2018 10:06 pm So I bought this Nickel. It's got lots of luster, a great halo and nearly perfect fields, but some of the high points are a little flat... that could be wear or I heard that weak strikes were common with the early Nickels. So, what do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

Talonbat Valued Member Canada 395 Posts	Posted 03/07/2018 11:12 am Really need too see these sort of things in person but I would agree they're not far off on this one. I would have said AU53-55 myself based on the pictures. Just a mention on your description the fields look very far from nearly perfect. Report this Post to the Staff
KHatt Valued Member Canada 291 Posts	Posted 03/07/2018 11:28 am Thanks, I paid $150 for it from a US dealer, so I think I'm pretty happy with it and this is one I'm def going to keep in my collection. Re: fields - I agree there are small marks, but I meant free of anything major or distracting. Or at least I thought so, but I'm still learning... (also the spot between the D and V on the 2nd photo is on the holder). Report this Post to the Staff
