For those of you, who doubted me on purchasing those nickels. I'm going to toot my own horn I found a very rare variety. It's a 1869 Shield nickel with a narrow date and I believe VF condition. Not sure about that condition. This will go to NGC for variety only because I paid for a subscription, at the beginning of the year.
Because I don't know if it is a narrow date or not and even if it is, I don't know what it would be worth. Not being sarcastic, just saying good luck that it's a goodie.
Yes, it is a narrow date. No, it is not rare. Not even especially scarce - can be fairly easily found with some persistence.
