went to a flea market 4 or 5 yr,s a ago guy had a whole box of dateless Nickles seen the s on this so took it home for kicks & grins to try some nikodate xx low and behold it was a21!!!
I don't anything about grading would that just be considered good or perhaps fine? When I was little I hanged out with too many coin collecters & never thought much of coins in that sort of condition.
i mean it cost me a whole dollar ,and in lite of the fact it was one of the 2,, I was missing from my set I was estatic !!
Probably Good Details (the acid dating is considered damage)... but it was a dateless buffalo, so what's the downside?
That’s a pretty clean date with sharp edges, considering it was raised from the dead. It still seems to match the overall look of the coin, too. I thought this treatment often left the surface more gray and dull. This nickel has turned out really well.
thanks all , my mom was with me when I found it , in fact she educated me on the nicodate xx sp, and she's no longer with us so I'll keep it with my set , still need the 38 D over S , well and the 3 leg but I'm not sure if you need that 1 for it to be considered a full set ?
It’s a personal choice certainly, but I consider a set to be complete with one example of each year and mint. Some people like to add the major varieties. They may seem essential because the old blue Whitman folders included slots for them. But varieties are a slippery slope. Which varieties are actually major? Do you need 1918/17? How about two feathers? When are you done? On my set I only tried for one example of each year. And I feel it’s complete. . . . Until I see something shiny . . .
Glad to hear your set is complete. Now just add the errors and varieties that you want at your leisure. They just add to the joy and excitement of the set.
yes! I did that with my Jefferson's added all the NIFC proofs and some of the after market westward journey set,s my 2009 D is in mint set tho!
