1874 3CN

There's been a lot of discussion of the 3 cent nickel on this forum recently...just thought I'd share one that I find interesting. There is a bit of doubling on the obverse, most readily seen in the AM of America. But of more interest is the degree of die rotation. The third picture, of the reverse, shows this die rotation. I carefully fipped the coin from obverse to reverse to maintain it's relative orientation. I would grade this coin VF-30 at the worst, and possibly EF-40. The beads in the coronet are not all clearly distinct, and the lines in the numeral are arguably complete, and the leaves show plenty of detail. The coin has some accumuated grime (as seen at the base of the AM) but this does not appear to be corrosion, IMO.
