Compare it to the pictures at http://coinsandcanada.com/coins-gra...orge-V&id=12 Primary interest is the amount of wear on the headband of the crown.

Remember "shiny" does not mean "more valuable" to actual coin collectors. Anything that will remove surface metal to make it look shiny will very much decrease the value. Yes, actual coin collectors who would be interested in this nickel will likely be able to tell.

VG details (polished), at least that's what it looks like in this last pic.

Why would you clean this coin, you have brought the value of it down by half, at least, the first photos the coin wasn't cleaned, now it has been at least cleaned and or polished.. I realize you are a new person on here, but take some time and read before you react.. could have been I nice example , but now.. it isn't..

Sorry to be another buzz kill, but why polish it so much yet not remove the dirt?

i didn't disagree with a acetone bathe, but rather the harsh clean and polish it received..
