Here’s a new addition to my Whitman’s Type Set. That’s my lower grade type coins. This is an 1884 “V” or Liberty Head Nickel. It’s the second year of issue and considered a semi-key date from the early years of this type coin.
Currently, I am in a quest to collect American Silver Eagles, but every time I see coins like yours, I want to start collecting them. This hobby of ours is neat, but we all enjoy our own collections. Best of luck. That is a great coin.
I forgot to mention that there is a die crack. The smaller photo, shows the crack at the stars behind her hair bun.
Yep. Early nickel coins were famous for their die cracks. Nickel is a harder metal and the Mint had trouble getting used to it.
They were are minted in the same round shape. Lol my friend. Glad you’re back more than you have been.
sweet I have a tough time with these I would call that borderline au58-ms60 and only because I see what looks like a tiny bit of rub on a couple of the stars... (4-5 o'clock)
I have the completed set in lower grade condition. This was cheap and nice enough I decided to buy it.
