I'm not sure that is actually a scratch, it looks more like another coin hit it possibly in a bag of them, more like a Morgan dollar gets clanked together, nickels are hard and much smaller, but it doesn't really have the lok of a details type scratch.

Actually fletcher-7. It's the first one they have ever graded and they have pictures of my coin as their example of the variety where they list all the varieties they slab.

The real question is,is the attribution correct? NGC is notorious when it comes to Shield nickels for "Well it kind of looks like that one, we'll call it that." When it comes to Shield nickel varieties they are wrong a LOT! (They have nothing to lose, they don't guarantee attributions.) |

It appears to the best of my knowledge to be the Fletcher 7 NOT the Fletcher 6. F-6 there is a die crack going through the ball of the shield from high left to low right. Also F6 has horizontal shield lines very strongly doubled at the top. see the following link; http://www.shieldnickels.net/top20/73F06.html"Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

So they have called it a F-6 and pictured it as that variety on their Variety Plus page as the first of that variety they have holdered, and it is actually a misattributed F-7. Sounds normal.

The OP accidentally hit the 6 key instead of the 7 on his 5-30 post. It happens. Maybe when he was re-reading the recent comments he noticed and posted that it was Fletcher-7 For what it's worth here is the NGC Variety page for Fletcher-7 https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-variet...vp-012-5854/Notice it is the same coin as the one in the OP. |
