specksynder Pillar of the Community United States 1080 Posts	Posted 11/02/2010 11:47 pm The fields look hazy... any chance this is a "resurrected" coin (chemically restored)? I'd say if everything's legit I'd put it about a VF-20 maybe as high as VF-30. Looks nice. Report this Post to the Staff
bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 11/03/2010 12:28 am Thanks -- and yes, the field is certainly a bit strange... but I don't think this coin would be a candidate for restoration. I really doubt it was ever dateless, based on overall detail. Who knows what silly things people do to their coins, though! Report this Post to the Staff
ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 11/03/2010 01:20 am Think I would go EF-40, altered surfaces. It definitely was not a restored date. Report this Post to the Staff

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 11/03/2010 2:01 pm VF 30, not restored, but maybe cleaned at some point. Definitely a keeper! Report this Post to the Staff
mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 11/03/2010 6:35 pm I'd say VF30, with minor corrosion, but not chemically altered via restoration attempt. My guess is that there is significant detail such that this is an original coin, but somewhere along the way maybe got dirt on it and that led to the corrosion? Report this Post to the Staff
bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 11/05/2010 7:01 pm Thank you, everyone, for your input on this coin. It sucks I have a hard time telling if nickel coins have been cleaned. (It's a bit easier for me with copper.) Report this Post to the Staff
