Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 09:40 am Greetings! My 1865 3 Cent Nickel has many obvious errors (die cracks? breaks? etc) I would appreciate opinions on how best to describe/ evaluate/ grade this coin with all the flaws. Looks to be high VF or low XF to me, but I might be too harsh here. Do all the marks all value or not? Thanks for the help. Stay well! Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 10:14 am I agree with your grading. Start the valuation by ignoring all the die cracks. They are a result of the natural minting process. They are not considered errors, i.e., don't describe them as errors. They are part of the minting process. Just call them what they are, die cracks. But they do affect the value. In general they reduce value BUT there are collectors who find them appealing. I think they give a coin personality. Report this Post to the Staff

Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 11:20 am Thanks for the help. I have several 3 Cent coins and wonder about the market for these. Any thoughts on whether they are popular to buy/sell, or a real niche that interests only a few? Any good resources on trading volume by type/year that you recommend to gauge interest? Thanks again, Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff
