Wizardnyc Valued Member United States 253 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 10:11 pm Shield nickels are a strange bunch with all the weak strikes and all. The year is a bit messed, as are other elements. Counterfeit? Report this Post to the Staff

Wizardnyc Valued Member United States 253 Posts	Posted 01/27/2018 08:07 am Thx everyone. Just started to get back into the hobby by collecting type coins. I just need a Half Dime to finish nickels, but ebay seems rife with dubious coins. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/27/2018 08:21 am We love good questions with photos. Never fear ridicule from us. Authentic with a much nicer than average strike both obverse and reverse on a slightly tougher date. Strong EF. No hint of corrosion. Photos don't allow a determination on cleaning or not cleaned. I like it. If you can get it for EF 40 money, it's a nice choice. Report this Post to the Staff
