OldDan Pillar of the Community United States 1203 Posts	Posted 05/05/2007 11:35 am Steve; the pic has problems with showing the actual condition of the coin, and as such wouold only be a guess on my part. So haveing said that, here goes with a slightly lower grade of vf for this nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
asciibaron Valued Member United States 206 Posts	Posted 05/06/2007 12:17 am this is an UNC coin - I was trying to show off the poor alloy mix striping. the coin is dark, but has full luster and shows no wear. a very interesting coin and thus the reason I purchased it. the coin is part of a gift set for my father in law. -Steve Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 05/06/2007 02:55 am I agree that the pics are tough to grade from ,But I think the coin is AU-55, the reverse is the giveaway , full pillars and triangle above the door, along with some steps . The cheek and hair show what looks like very slight wear . having said that , This coin may have been cleaned some time in the past and has retoned . Metalman Report this Post to the Staff
asciibaron Valued Member United States 206 Posts	Posted 05/07/2007 9:32 pm thanks for the feedback. I have studied this coin for a few days and picked up a few others in higher quality - this coin is supposed to be an UNC, but I agree it looks more like an AU55. I'm going to trade it for some Lincoln's in MS. -Steve Report this Post to the Staff
DoubleDie Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 05/09/2007 10:29 pm Jefferson nickels can have weakly struck hair and this may be an example. The reverse is MS and I don't see any wear on Jefferson's cheek bone to go along with supposed wear on the hair. I'm guessing the coin is MS, but I need a better pic of the obverse. It wouldn't grade less than AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
