wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 12/29/2013 10:24 am Hi..Was looking at my 18 or so 1953 nickels..I came across one that had all the characteristics of a 1950 NSF/near...here is the problem..look at the first 1953 coin and see how thick the border is on this coin...NOW, look at the second picture..if the border was a normal thick border, wouldn't that make it a NSF/near coin..?..The border on the second coin for some reason is not as thick as the other 17 coins I have..hum..?

No fold- far design/ 3 water lines.=common No fold-far design/ 1 water line.= less common No fold-close design/ 3 water lines.= mule With fold-close design/3,2 and 1 water line With fold-far design/3 water lines.= mule If we were confused before, we will be shortly.
