1896 V Cent Nickel

Hi,

what do you think about the grade of this 1896 Nickel?
I tried to take some detailed pictures (hope they are not too big).
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum.
About that coin, I don't know, it looks like a nice strike to me....
but...
There is something about the surfaces.
They seem to bright, and reflective, esp for a circulation strike.

 

Thanks for the answer.
This chrome look is not really there. The coin looks more beamless in reallife. I think it is a result of the light.

 

Good morning, nice to see another early riser.
Why not introduce yourself in the Introductions sections.

Also, where are you located?

Have a great day--

it looks like a proof strike to me

 

MS 65.
I'm fairly certain that coin is NOT a proof (reverse way too weak, dentils not sharp enough, and edges not square enough), and the odd look is the type/angle of lights used to take the photo...Mike

 

I would say MS64 - that is a nice coin!

 

Great coin. And really fine photos. I mean, you can even see her miniature form-fitted hearing aid.
