copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 07/03/2010 11:09 pm The pics are small, but based on what I see I'd go MS64. It would have to come back with an incredible grade to make it worthwhile to send to a TPG, as even in the high grade of MS65 CW Trends only list the 1940 at $15. If it is MS65 Full Steps the value jumps to $75. MS66 is $35, MS66 FS is $150. It isn't until you get to MS67 that you start seeing some real high value; $300. A MS67 Full Steps, by the way, lists at $1000. Report this Post to the Staff

Your nickel would look very nice in an album but I would not invest the grading fee since it really doesn't appear to be an ultra-high-grade example. Report this Post to the Staff
