srcliff Valued Member United States 453 Posts	Posted 03/02/2014 10:44 am My brother and I were talking coins the other night, like me he's not a collector exactly but we've both worked in the family business since we were kids and picked up any interesting stuff from the register. Anyway, one thing he showed me that really caught my eye was an 1883 "no cents" nickel. Looking at the descriptions here of the grades it looks like it could qualify as EF or almost AU. I know what you are going to say and I will see if I can get some pictures of it. The question is; is it worth getting it graded and slabbed? I don't think he is too interested in selling it right now but it would keep it in a better condition than a little plastic baggy would right? Report this Post to the Staff
