Hi everyone,

I bought this Shield nickel on ebay and was wondering what you pros would grade it. Thanks for your time!

Conservatively, I would grade it a G-6. Might have an outside shot at VG-8 but all the shield lines are kaput.

I would give it a F-12 based on these pictures from PCGS Photograde;

Thanks everyone!

I have one other coin I am unsure about. It is a 1920 SLQ that said on the original 2x2 fine on one side and good on the other. When I bought it I assumed the lower grade was the correct one.

Definitely in the fine range.
F15 I'd say
