Guido Valued Member United States 390 Posts	Posted 06/03/2007 3:47 pm I thought about buying this coin, but I was really concerned about the mark on the "t" in Liberty. So, what does everyone think about this one? It's a beautiful looking coin, but there is some wear around the hair and the top of the hair looks either worn or lightly struck. It was being sold as brilliant uncirculated in raw form. Obverse: Image: 1865 3 Cent Nickel.jpg 51.15 KB Reverse: Image: 1865 3 Cent Nickel Reverse.jpg 52.4 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Guido Valued Member United States 390 Posts	Posted 06/03/2007 11:51 pm That's why I didn't bid on it. It sold for $76, which seems kind of high based on other coins I've seen for sale. Report this Post to the Staff

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 06/04/2007 11:25 pm I agree about that black spot being detrimental to the eye appeal. It's a common coin and easy to find with no problems in just about any grade. Report this Post to the Staff
