Finn70 Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 03/31/2020 3:32 pm Cherrypicked this Shield nickel. DDO, FS-101. It however has a obverse planchet flaw. Would this flaw negatively affect its value? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Finn70 Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 03/31/2020 7:59 pm 1873 closed 3 examples in mint state are a bit more difficult to acquire, and this variety, FS-101, only has a few MS examples. The coin has a nice strike and decent luster, but the planchet flaw is a bit of an eyesore. I am still happy with it since my only closed 3 example was an XF40, so a decent upgrade.

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 03/31/2020 9:33 pm Nice pick! Some may say the flaw is distracting and some may say it is a plus to have an error on a variety coin. I personally think it is distracting, but it's still a great coin. It doesn't distract much. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
