Hi guys, just picked up this shield nickel at a local coin show, just wondering what the grade was, and I also noticed some type of weird line running through the top of the coin, so I thought it might be a die crack? If it is, what type of value would a piece like this command? Thanks in advance.
The grade is perhaps VF20 details, damaged/corroded. The line at the top is a die crack. Die cracks add nothing to the value. I would estimate a value of $25 or less on this coin.
Agreed on it being around VF details. I wouldn't buy it unless I was going to give it away to a potential new collector.
