Connor19817 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 12/07/2017 10:28 pm Found this nickel the other day in my first box of nickels, and was surprised at the quality. Any thoughts on a grade? Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 12/07/2017 10:32 pm Great find! It looks to be AU55 or AU58 to me with a weak strike on the reverse. However, I am not the best grader and pictures are almost always different than what is in hand. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/09/2017 04:24 am Quote: How can you tell the Reverse has a weak strike? Yes, the steps of Monticello have something to do with it. I looked more at the weakness of the columns on the reverse. They are all very weakly struck whereas a strong strike would show weakness only on the third (left to right) column. I hope that makes sense. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
