1913 s Nickel

This is my nickel. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
However I would like some oppinions on the grade of my nickel.
I paid 55.00 for it, and i think it will make a nice coin for my book.

VF-25, a nice type 1

 

You didn't finish it:

"This is my nickel. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My nickel is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. Without me, my nickel is useless. Without my nickel, I am useless."

Loved that movie...

 

$55?! When did you buy it?

The one I got a year ago (also type I) is in similar condition/grade but got a bit more attractive look, I paid $15 including international shipping... Am I missing something here or prices really changed?

 

lol. i was hoping someone would pick up on that

 

I bought it today. are you talking about a 13-s

 

Holy smokes, they did go way up. PCGS has $58 for a F-12 and $75 in 40. I do realize that PCGS is a bit inflated, no need to let me know.

 

Yeap, missed the fact its 1913-S, my bad. Thought this is a 1913.

 

I generally agree.
The reverse is better than the obverse; nice horn and split tail.
If the obverse details can be attributed to a worn die you might even reach XF.
But as is, VF seems correct.

 

I looking at what may be an au buff. It's very hard to tell from the images....

 

nice coin!

I always loved Buffalo Nickels!

 

Then you got a great deal.


You did note the S mintmark, didn't you?
