I am glad the world did not end yet although the day is not quite over so you never know if the meteor is coming Here are a couple of 1883 Liberty nickels - forgive the shaky IPHONE pics, its the best I can do... I bought both of them and in hand they are a gorgeous blast white and a gorgeous toned nickel...I am wondering two things that I would love you all to assist me with: 1 - grading opinions 2 - which one should get the honor of gracing the type set thanks for the time you take to respond Report this Post to the Staff

I prefer the top one because I do not see as many hits on it and I am a sucker for a better defined corn cob on the left (though the upper left on the reverse is a less well struck). I can't assign a grade with these pictures, but I would say at minimum I think they are high AU, most likely MS. I do think the bottom would get a better technical grade but my preference is still the top one. Report this Post to the Staff

Die cracks (?), obverse across the bottom of the date, and stars 6 and 8 & 9. ...decision...#2 Better strike (more defined stars and more die cracks ) Edited by oih82w8 12/21/2012 11:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
