BamaBlue Pillar of the Community United States 624 Posts	Posted 06/01/2013 12:34 pm This is a tough one for me, even with photograde. I'm not a Victory Nickel 'fan' and this looks to be a VF30 (or better?). I'm interest to get some opinions from V-Nickel fans... THANK-YOU. Report this Post to the Staff

BamaBlue Pillar of the Community United States 624 Posts	Posted 06/01/2013 3:44 pm Thanks guys. Dave... What are indicators of cleaning in the photo? I thought I had a pretty good eye for spotting cleaning (especially abrasion markings). I did notice something unusual under magnification... Looking at the first two stars on the left obverse of the coin, they appear more worn than the rest. Is that typical wear for a V nickel?

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 06/01/2013 4:38 pm My question is the dark halos around some of the stars and the date. Could be signs of a light cleaning but certainly not a definite. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18681 Posts	Posted 06/01/2013 4:50 pm looks EF45 to me. nice coin. it may have been lightly cleaned a while back but doesn't detract from the coin at all IMO. Report this Post to the Staff

jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 06/05/2013 07:42 am Those first two stars not showing the detail that the others do might not be due to wear on just those two stars. It may be due to a few things. 1. Strike weakness. 2. Thin/light planchet. 3. Filled die/grease in die. 4. Combination of any of those things. FYI. Sometimes there is weakness in the hair detail due to these same issues. That is why you will sometimes see weakness in the hair detail on MS coins. Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 06/08/2013 09:07 am Don't think the V stands for "victory" in these issues... Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 06/10/2013 09:18 am I like it at XF45 original. Nice collectible coins like this example are so nice, especially compared to the huge supply of g4 coins out there. Report this Post to the Staff
