valdiman Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 575 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 2:57 pm Multiple parts of the letters missing.Quite few die cracks(seen as scratches on the picture)Thoughts on grade and value?Is it gradeable at all? Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 5:00 pm At worst VG details with the scratches. The missing letter part thing is fairly common in other varieties, not sure what causes it or if there is any premium for it here. Maybe $5 or so for value.

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 6:03 pm I'll go higher and say F-15 because there are still quite a few of the horizontal shield lines visible, details in the leaves and arrow feathers on the obverse. On the reverse, the centers of several stars remain. I'm going to guess the void towards the bottom of the third stripe in the shield and the one on the left side of the outer shield curve are due to planchet flaws, but could be wrong in that assessment. Edit: The broken letters are common on Shield nickels -MV Edited by MeadowviewCollector 05/04/2015 6:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 8:21 pm Shield nickels losing letter pieces is pretty common in the series. Nickel is very tough to strike, and in this series the planchets seemed to win as often as the dies. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 05/06/2015 7:40 pm F12 details due to the light scratches, it might grade clean (no details grade) as I've been seeing a lot of coins similar grading clean from the Stack's 52nd Street hoard. NGC even has been releasing a lot of clean graded 2¢ pieces with a lot of verdigris and green gunk on them, which looks suspiciously like PVC. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
