NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2281 Posts	Posted 10/16/2022 10:16 pm Hey folks! I have a fun one today, atleast for me. I recently picked up this slick and challenged myself to identify it once I got home. Low and behold, my Poor 1 1883 No Cents Liberty Head V nickel! I cannot see any signs of the word Cents on the reverse while also seeing remnants of the 1883 on obverse. Is this enough proof to get a Poor 1 grade? Thanks!

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 10/16/2022 10:38 pm The No Cents wreath is marginally farther from the rim than the Cents type, so I imagine if you could precisely measure a known visible point to the rim, it might be enough to authenticate. You'd have to account for how smashed from wear it is though. Hmm... Report this Post to the Staff

NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2281 Posts	Posted 10/16/2022 11:59 pm I have a different No Cents that is easily verifiable. This one in question, and the verified one match up about the same. The With Cents one I have measured noticeably shorter.

NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2281 Posts	Posted 10/22/2022 11:44 pm So here's an update. After close inspection of 1883 and 1888 coins, I have confirmed this is an 1888. The last number protrudes further then Liberty's neck. Whereas, 1883 is within the neck. I plan on sending it in to get graded!
