I would buy this coin for $22 every day of the week and twice on Tuesdays. Looks like a clear full horn to me, even taking into account that this date is typically weakly struck. A vf30 coin wholesales for over $40 and a vf25 coin over $30, and I think this grades better than that, so no idea what all the fuss is about.  |

You asked for opinions and now you wanna argue about the opinions you received? To me it's ugly, poorly struck (or worn), damaged and worth nowhere near 24$ or 22$ or whatever you paid for it. However, it's your money and you can do whatever you want. |

Part of a conversation is listening to opinions that differ from yours. I listened to yours and offered mine. Not sure why you expect that I should listen to your opinion and refrain from offering mine. I understand some people dont want to have a conversation and just want to feel they are right all the time. I was under the impression that this was a discussion forum.  And yes, I will spend my money based on my thoughts, although I take others' thoughts into account. I dont TPG coins worth less that $100. I often just get opinions here and some are clearly better than others. |

There is more to an EF than just the horn. The shank, hump and head hair detail on this coin all show considerable loss of detail that cannot be brushed off due to striking weakness, imo.

For reference:
David Hall: The 1927-S is semi-common in lower circulated grades, but quite scarce in grades VF20 and above.
NGC: Like the Denver Mint 1927 nickel, the best that can be said of the 1927 S issue is that it comes better than the two preceding dates. Most are less than fully struck, but very poorly struck coins are not often encountered.

Your earlier comment on the horn "Looks full to me" suggests you are grading this EF.  |

Still at VF-30, edge bump really hurts the value.

The rim bump hurts it and would kill the deal for me. The coin will grade "details" because of the rim bump.
Other than that it looks pretty good!
