dooly Valued Member United Kingdom 348 Posts	Posted 06/30/2012 05:33 am Hi thanks for posting good 66 it looks to be a nice early die state to me .. 66 dies did not last long.. there looks to be another die crack form the last set of leaves on the right hand side ? .. I would also have this coin conserved which I think would enhance the details of the coin Report this Post to the Staff

DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 9:34 pm At least two of us on CCF have found Shield nickels in coin counting machine reject bins. Report this Post to the Staff
oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 9:43 pm Hmmm...I wonder why they would be rejected? The composition has not changed (except War Nickels) since 1866...or am I wrong? Report this Post to the Staff
cholley New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 9:44 pm I happened to get a Shield nickel in with some Liberty nickels I was given. I am not a coin collector and know very little on this subject. I know it is not in great condition, but am wondering if there is an variety to it or value to it. Thanks for any help you can provide. The date appears to be 1867. Like I said parts of it are vary worn. Report this Post to the Staff
tzarmarko Pillar of the Community 614 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 10:02 pm Well acctually, they are 1mm smaller than modern day nickels. I believe the earliest modern sized Nickels are Liberty V nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
