I found this nickel in my wife's grandmother's penny and nickel books. I was thinking about getting it slabbed for her as it seems to be in excellent condition. Would it be worth the $38 to get it graded for her Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99364 Posts	Posted 01/25/2023 6:17 pm please crop your images to the edge of your coins before posting - that way we get to see more of the coin and less of the table top. This appears to be a nice proof, but can't tell much from this image. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15596 Posts	Posted 01/26/2023 05:26 am Impossible to evaluate the coin from those small and bright photos - but agree it appears to be a proof strike and these are quite common. I would not spend the $ on TPG certification. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
