bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 03/29/2014 4:12 pm LeoS, thanks for posting and providing pictures. As a new member Quote: Valuable enough to keep? Yes. What do you know about Shield type nickel? Quote: Worth more than $2 each? Could be. Again, what do you know about Shield type nickel Not sure how long you have been collecting and your budget. Nice coin, " a tad corroded." to learn about. Report this Post to the Staff
LeoS Valued Member United States 174 Posts	Posted 03/29/2014 6:38 pm bpoc: I've been stacking for a few years, I got a baggie of about 20 coins, these are a part of them. I know that these were made for about 20 years, this year had about 20 million strikes? They were oversized in comparison, and the Half Dime ran closely to this, but was silver and far smaller, it was a wake up for the Mint to see Gresham's law in action. I will not dump these, I want to tag with an estimated value for future reference (if I leave this earth), and my loved ones have some guidance. Report this Post to the Staff

noD Pillar of the Community United States 1584 Posts	Posted 03/29/2014 8:16 pm I would keep them. I agree with flippy, try a soak in acetone. Report this Post to the Staff

jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 04/02/2014 09:22 am Of course you keep em. What else would you do with them? I have a whole jar full of culls. I actually like looking at it. When you collect long enough, you always end up with stuff like this some how. Report this Post to the Staff
