I like this coin. the photo doesn't do it justice. there is subtle rosy toning that doesn't show up. You guys are tough... be kind   |

I'm still working on grading 3 cent nickels, but maybe in the AU-UNC range.
It's an 1865 btw, not a 1853 =P

I do not have the specialist experience to grade this denomination, nevertheless this is a pleasing coin to the eye of any viewer.
There is weakness on the first 'I' of the 'III's, but not on the other two 'I's. Not sure if this a weak strike in this area or localised wear. I will assume that it is a weak strike.
I see some light parallel hairlining (obv), but that may be on the Mylar window; I will assume that it is.
With these assumptions, AU58.

It looks uncirculated to me; MS-63.

OHHHHH!I thought that was a die crack on the reverse. It's a clash, I see the outline of her head upside down. nice pickup Ed

wow that is so cool, I don't have any experience with die clashes but that shows me what that means. I can acually see an outline of the head too. In terms of grading, if you can tell by my the questions I ask I am no good for that  i am really digging this forum by the way. I am learning stuff, but also seeing very fine photos that describe concepts I have read about but never actually seen such clear examples of. All I can say is thanks so much |
