LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1187 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 8:30 pm I came across 3 Shield nickels in an "unsearched" roll I purchased. 1 has to be an 1867 because it has rays on the back. Unfortunately the dates and observe rim is gone on all 3. Any value in these or any way to restore the dates on them? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1187 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 8:40 pm Good point, thanks. I've never seen a Shield nickel in person until now. Atleast I truly think the rolls were unsearched. I also got a 1932 helvetia coin in XF condition as well as a bunch of V-nickels (mostly 1900's). Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 9:29 pm Anything you can do to restore a date on a Buffalo nickel, you can do to a Shield nickel. I've sold several restored date Shield nickels on ebay and made a couple of bucks on them. Ok for a couple of bucks, but not much value really. https://goccf.com/t/229769 Report this Post to the Staff

LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1187 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 10:12 am The 1932 is a Switzerland 2 rappen (http://www.catawiki.com/catalog/coi...appen-1932). Kind of odd it was in a nickel roll. It isn't terribly valuable but definately worth keeping since it is in such good shape (I'd say XF). Report this Post to the Staff
