two_tonevf35 Pillar of the Community United States 719 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 9:52 pm Bought this raw at a coin show in 2003, as I was re-entering the childhood hobby 25 years later, and started working on a 7070. Initially I tried to find coins within budget in higher grades, then I discovered lightly worn silver to be attractive and tried to match the set. So, I sent some to PGCS for grading before selling, which turned out to be a good move on almost all of them, including this one. As I read about each series, I would rush to check some of my 'blind' purchases to see what I could learn. With this issue, these finds are very common -- but it was very interesting nonetheless. Difficult to image, but can you see it? Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 09:20 am That's a better than average nickel 3¢. The III on the reverse is well defined which to me is a mark of a stronger strike. So many show weak to very weak area(s) on the Roman Numeral. Report this Post to the Staff

This is the only photo I can find of the obverse, and I no longer own this coin. Trying to enlarge the image it only gets blurry :/ Report this Post to the Staff
