I don't doubt that it was cleaned at some point. It was the best looking one I could find in my price range. It completed my Liberty set. No plans to sell it anytime in the future. Anyone want to guess at the price? How much does a 'details ' grade take away from the price? I know some people would not buy those, but I was not going to lay out too much more money.

I'm at VG-10 details due to cleaning.

I agree with F-12 details because of cleaning. I guess a certified problem free Fine would probably hammer in the neighborhood of $300 while problem examples are going for about half of that give or take.

That's what I find too, at least half value or more off from a sell price at the grade. I was thinking between $80-120. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

Thanks for the replies! Ouch, I guess I over paid for this one! It was $200. That was around my budget for the 1886 Nickel. I was trying to get one in the VG range. It was hard to find anything decent looking for under $300 and I was getting impatient. A lot of the coins had more apparent problems and were quite unattractive. I rechecked the listings today, and it looks like certified VGs are being listed in the high $300-$400 range, but I guess they are passing on the price of the certification.

I think it is a good example in the low Fine range and if you are happy with it, I think $200 is not too bad. You completed your set -  - congratulations! How are you housing them? I put mine is a Whitman blue velvet board. |

I agree with Kelly, very nice coin, nice price.
I'm not seeing the cleaning and have seen g4 coins go for the hundred dollar area.
I'd love to get my hands on one like that for the 80-120 range that westcoin mentions,
don't really think it's possible.(maybe dealer cost)

thanks again for the replies. What is a 'Whitman blue velvet board" ? sounds intriguing. Right now they are in a Dansco album, but it a bit of a chore to take them out and put them back in, as I have been working on my photography.

It is an old board that used to be used for collecting. Here is mine:  I was able to "upgrade" my board but do not have pictures of the coins in it. I found mine at a show and got hooked. My latest project is one for Buffalo nickels. |

Kelly,
Neat board! What year is it from? I read they came out in the 1930s and coin collecting became more popular due to it. They said that is one of the reasons the earlier liberty series is harder to get in better condition. They were already 40+ year old when the boards came out. However the ones in the 1900-12 were newer and saved in the 1930s on the boards. Don't know if that is true.
