Northend New Member Canada 1 Posts	Posted 11/21/2022 11:39 am Hello Everyone, This is my first post and I am wondering if anyone can help me with some information on the 53 Canadian nickel I have. I understand if it is of the no shoulder fold variety with respect to the queens bust it is worth a few dollars. I am having trouble figuring out whether the nickel I have is an NSF nickel. I've attached an image. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Thanks very much. Report this Post to the Staff

You have been misinformed, the normal no shoulder fold version is the least valuable of the '53s. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1373 Posts	Posted 12/11/2022 11:58 am Northend, I know I'm replying late and I hope you've already found the information, but I need to remind you that BOTH the "No Shoulder fold" AND the "With Shoulder fold" variants are valuable (+$200), BUT it all depends on the leaf positions on the coins. There are FOUR varieties; the NSF/far leaf and WSF/near leaf are the 'cheap' varieties, and the NSF/near leaf and WSF/far leaf types the valuable ones. Report this Post to the Staff
