j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 02/24/2008 1:01 pm Pictures are best I can take. "In God We Trust" is very weak. Grade? And..is there any premium for the die anomalies between the letters in "AMERICA" and "CENTS?"

InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 02/24/2008 4:26 pm I would give this one a VF-30 , it looks like it has nice even wear , just enough to keep it from an XF grade . The The die anomalies are die cracks . They don't usually add a premium, but I like them anyway! Nice coin ! Report this Post to the Staff

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 02/25/2008 07:32 am Thanks you all...Prethen; even with my rudimentary knowledge, I'm betting by the looks of the coin, it hasnt been cleaned. I may be completely wrong. Report this Post to the Staff

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 02/25/2008 5:38 pm The photos give the coin a whitish look which would indicate it has been cleaned if below AU. Nickel turns a darker gray as it gets circulated. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 02/25/2008 6:28 pm Thanks, Prethen...it may be the lighting from my microscope and you may be right. I'm no expert on "well" cleaned coins...only coins that got trashed during cleaning. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
