I think it is a good example in the low Fine range and if you are happy with it, I think $200 is not too bad. You completed your set - - congratulations!

How are you housing them? I put mine is a Whitman blue velvet board.

I agree with Kelly, very nice coin, nice price.
I'm not seeing the cleaning and have seen g4 coins go for the hundred dollar area.
I'd love to get my hands on one like that for the 80-120 range that westcoin mentions,
don't really think it's possible.(maybe dealer cost)

thanks again for the replies. What is a 'Whitman blue velvet board" ? sounds intriguing. Right now they are in a Dansco album, but it a bit of a chore to take them out and put them back in, as I have been working on my photography.

It is an old board that used to be used for collecting. Here is mine:

Liberty-Nickel-1886-Grade?

I was able to "upgrade" my board but do not have pictures of the coins in it. I found mine at a show and got hooked. My latest project is one for Buffalo nickels.

Kelly,

Neat board! What year is it from? I read they came out in the 1930s and coin collecting became more popular due to it. They said that is one of the reasons the earlier liberty series is harder to get in better condition. They were already 40+ year old when the boards came out. However the ones in the 1900-12 were newer and saved in the 1930s on the boards. Don't know if that is true.
