CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 07/09/2011 10:28 pm Went to the coin show today and found the last Liberty nickels I was looking for for my low grade set. I settled for this one, my imagination but I think it has character. The story is it was in a fire, do you agree? I paid $70, am happy with it as a hole filler for the low grade collection (I was planning on spending much more for a G4). I think it looks better in hand, hope you enjoy her character!

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/10/2011 10:21 pm I'd say sewer. I've seen other coins from sewers with a "crack" pattern like that. I'd say very good deal for $70. Edited by Conder101 07/10/2011 10:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
