GTG ICG 1883 Liberty Nickel + Thoughts on Rev.

Bought this because of the reverse. Guess the grade and give me your thoughts on the reverse. I think this die set was retired very shortly after this coin was struck. I also think the indentation next to the S is a strike through from die material.

Terminal die state.........MS-62.

 

Thoughts on what is/should be on the grade label besides the grade?

 

63. Nice die cracks.

 

AU55

 

Shoot. I don't know. Stop making me 'think' Darryl..........I'm into two bourbons.........

 

Well it should be noted that it's a 19.1 RPD Doubling on the 1 to the left and second 8 in upper bowl to left. And lower inner loop of the 3 to the left. 1 is doubled at serf south and line in foot of 1 shows remnant of doubling south 2nd 8 has doubling in upper bowl,3 is doubled Slightly to left . Late die state ms 63. The chip may be a strike through very hard coins to mint in the medal comp.

 

Oh......strikethrough maybe?

 

Nice pick up!

 

You are 1 ahead of me Ken . I'll work on catching up.

 

Thank you

 

Also notice the date placement on the coin see how close the 1 is to the base of the neck. As well as the slant.

 

Consider the slab

 

Retained cud on the Rev?

I'm struggling with the photobucket zoom in but the coin is beautiful, my guess is MS62 with some awesome die cracks. Great coin!

 

Doubled profile also....I will also add I have 2 1883 NC both have rubs on them and came back as MS 63 from NGC

 

OK, but that depends on its generation. It could be anything from 55 to 66.

 

ROTFL

 

AU58

 

I'm at au 55 too. Actually I'd call it au details cleaned
