Just wanted to share this 1868 Shield nickel I purchased recently. Details I think are awesome, especially for what I paid for it.

The more and more I discover these old nickels, the more and more I love them.

Thanks, my friends.

Marv65, I definitely quite like it. It's really hard to find these in good condition, especially for a good price.

Crazy to believe that this coin is nearly 160 years old.

Nice add for your collection. I don't think I have an example in my collection for this series. (It has been a while for me with coin purchases).

Thank you. You can find them on ebay for reasonable prices. That's where I purchased this one.

Thanks, Ballyhoo!

However, irritatingly enough, I still have not received this coin.
ebay's tracking/shipping is absolutely atrocious sometimes.

I think it's bugging me even more now due to the fact that I have a Shield nickel album
