Nothing special, just picking up a few dates I don't have. Opinions welcome.   |

I love the 3 cent nickels and the 3 cent silver's. Looks like a good buy, if you don't mind me asking what did you give for it. I found a 1865 3 cent nickel about a month ago for 3$

Better looking reverse than obverse, hard to grade. Sort of a beat-up F-15.

VF20+ reverse with a very weakly struck obverse and some bad scratching, almost like it was rubbed across the face on sandpaper. This coin might benefit from a few weeks of being carried around in a pocket to smooth it out a bit.
A bit of Veri-Care may help, acetone bath too, as I see a bit of PVC residue on the reverse at 10:00.
NET Grade? F-12/5

All over the board on this one. She ain't the best looking little coin, but I've had her for quite a while and just decided to have her seen and judged by others. It definitely didn't photograph well. Looks perfectly fine in hand, the the photos brought out all the flaws. Anyway, thanks for looking and commenting!

Reverse VF-20. Obverse Fine-12 weak strike. As for the scratches, they don't look very deep and when the picture was taken, the light may have caught them just right making them (the scratches) look worse. I'd hold it in my hand, give it a light rub to get some oils on it, then put it in the window for a couple of months or so. Should mellow out nicely.
