specksynder Pillar of the Community United States 1080 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 10:27 pm Had this one set aside at the local coin shop last week. I remember the tv episode of Silver Spoons when I was kid about a 3-legged Buffalo nickel. Now decades later as a collector I have one of my own. For photography nuts, I was experimenting with HDR tone-mapping and exposure fusion... got these results: Report this Post to the Staff

specksynder Pillar of the Community United States 1080 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 7:43 pm Thanks for the comments. The reflection in one of the photos was done with a photoshop filter. The dealer who sold it to me thinks it might slab VF-35 cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff

The label would most likely say "Cleaned, VF Details" without the specific numeric grade. If it's going into your Indian head nickel set why bother sending it in to get slabbed since it clearly is an authentic piece. It is a nice looking coin and what cleaning it may have had didn't adversely affect its appearance. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff
