brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 09/15/2015 3:58 pm This is a fun nickel especially if you are into varieties and this series. If you like varieties then take a guess at the Fletcher number. Hint it is a Hub IIb. Also, take a guess at the grade. This is in a small ANACS holder and is really pretty in hand. It is getting a nice gold hew that the photos don't completely catch. The photos were taken fast in natural sunlight so keep that in mind when guessing grades. Have fun and thanks for looking and comments. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 09/15/2015 5:51 pm MS-65+. Strong RPD, broken die, major cracks, an uneven strike, and even a die chip. (In other words, a typical "US Mint High Quality" Shield nickel.) Outstanding eye appeal. Strangely, the center lines of the shield are well struck up which is rare as all get out on these.

brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 09/18/2015 09:00 am Believe it or not this is in a MS 64 small white anacs slab. Do you think I should try to get this into a pcgs 65 holder. Dealers around here always bash the small holder and they always buy the slab not the coin when trying to sell to them.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 09/19/2015 8:05 pm I'd try for a NGC or PCGS 65. Even if it comes back as a 64, you're still better off than when it's in an ANACS holder. The irony, at least to me, is that the old ANACS slabs were better graded than the big yellow/blue things.
