Looks to be in good condition and I'm sure it's all silver if it's real. I say go for it if you like it.

Eh, you could do much worse for $11. It has at least VF detail but is kind of bright so it might have had a cleaning at some point but the pics do not give the appearance of a harsh scrubbing. It could also be a case of bad lighting making the coin too bright, I just cannot tell either way with those smallish pics.

Yes, that's a Three Cent Nickel - there's also a Three Cent Silver coin that's different.

It looks pretty nice for $11 to me.

As soon as it is delivered, I will post better pictures
I figured, it is a nice hole filler for my 7070.
For 11.00, it's a cheap lesson.

I too think $11 is a good price for the piece, but beware the shipping costs.

It's gorgeous!!

I love the nickel 3 cents! The design is very classic and it stands up to wear very well.

AND there are many nice ones out there and not that expensive (yet!).

Nice job!

Shipping was included.
So basically it was throw into an envelope with a .44 stamp

So it was $11 with shipping! Wow! I'd give you $12.10 for it and you can make a 10% profit overnight!
