which 1912-S nickel do you like?

The TPGs gave all six of these 1912-S nickels the same grade. Put them in the order that you like with #1 being your favorite & #6 the least.

Sorry 1sikevo & treashunt, I find that I can only attach 5 of the 6 photos.

These photos depict the corn to the left of the bow on the reverse.

Don't know much about V nickels but I like F and B.

 

:gooferlease send C to my house. Thank you. That is all. :goofer:

 

"F" is the one I would take..the toning is wonderful....

But in all honesty, any of them would be nice!

I agree with Rickie B Letter F is what I would take. Just PM me and I will give you my address and you can ship it to me ASAP LOL LOL

 

F

 

My order would be -
#1 = F
#2 = C
#3 = B
#4 = A
#5 = E
#6 = D

All really nice coins!

 

The best corn is on D and E, but based on the pictures I like F and B in that order. If these coins are graded 64 then I would probably go with D.

 

So when will they start the FC (full corn) designation on Lib Nickels?

 

Good question - who knows. I just remember an article I read in coin world were they mentioned looking for full kernels on the left when looking an MS coins. I do not recall if this was something they expect for 64's and I am not sure if it is part of ANA grading guidelines on the series. All my books are at home.

 

Unfortunately the lighting for each image appears not to be the same.
Since they are all close in quality, this makes things difficult.
I don't believe I can render an accurate opinion.

And don't fixate on one diagnostic point (corn ears in this case).
That can lead you astray.
Like the horn on a Buffalo nickel.

 

Hello Kanga,
I know it's difficult to see all the nuances in the photos. The coins all have unique luster & marks and they are all mounted at various angles in their holders. I probably should have adjusted the lighting to more accurately capture each unique coin. This was my first attempt to post a string of photos & I took all the photos in succession without moving the camera or lights. (This may have been a mistake?) I initially adjusted the camera & lighting with the brightest coin & the darkest coin & then just shot them all one after the other. (The human eye would have adjusted from coin to coin but the camera didn't). I didn't like the way the lighting was bringing out every little mark on some of the brighter coins but I didn't know if I should change the lighting or camera setting.

In retrospect it would probably have been best if I said that they are so close in quality that they would really need to be seen in hand.
All nice coins.

 

OMG, you have a rainbow toned 1912-S Liberty Head Nickel. I can't rank the other coins since I didn't even see them. I guess I don't need to tell you how rare vibrant rainbow toning is on Liberty Nickels, much less a 1912-S. Super coin :whistle:

 

Try and find an 1883 no cents with full corn that ISN'T a proof.

It is far more common on the later dates, but this area is the achilees heel of the Liberty Nickel strike.
