I admit it...I am weak when it comes to coins for my 7070 Type Collection...I am never satisfied. I am willing to wager that you are not either. I just snagged this "with Rays" Shield nickel and wanted to see what the CCF Members has to say in compariosn to PCGS.

Thank you for your interest!

I agree with MS63. Is this an FS-303?

Man, that obverse die looks like a wooden stake you pounded too often.

I do not have a good (clear) enough to verify if it if a FS-303. But it is a good looking AU58! I need to have this one TruViewed as well as a few others.

I got here late to the party, I was wavering between AU58 and MS64 these nickels can be a tough call from photos. Super nice looking coin John!

wow...that's some AU58. Is there that much friction on the coin in hand versus these photos? I don't see where this is not MS based on the photos but its a great learning lesson. Excellent coin sir.

It looks better than AU. But I'm sure it will fit nice in your 7070.
