2000 5 Cent With P Mark

I also stumbled upon this nickle in MS-67 on ebay. Heres the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Canada-2000-P-F...67_W0QQitemZ170188373058QQihZ007QQcategoryZ3387QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQ_trksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcmdZViewItem Its a whopping $600.00!

Thanks, Oli

I forgot to include this picture of a 2000W nickel. Like this one, at MS-67 you'd expect an almost flawless surface.



(the golden color isn't a picture aberration; the copper composition has oxidized).

Hi multicolorama,

Without seeing the coin it is a little difficult... At MS-67 imperfections are seen only after extensive study with 4x mag. According to your description, your coin is disqualified at MS-67 due to the scratch. I noticed in your last post that your grade has come down from MS-67/66 to MS-65 so this is consistent with your description.

At MS-65, the coin appears almost perfect but after examination minor flaws will be discovered. The question now is if the scratch is minor or not. Only you can tell. Without having seen the coin but knowing what a 2000P looks like from the best bank roll I'd say it is probably MS-63/64. This is where a picture would help...
