It doesn't. That's the point. The Sheldon scale starts at 1 (the so called "basal" state). The only lower grade it could possibly have is 0,...
You're safe unless you're made out of styrofoam or you try to take a bath in it. :P
I'm not so sure. Is the date easier to make out in hand? Looks overgraded to me. :P BTW, I am not-so-secretly on the hunt for the ugliest ACG...
Now that's not something you see every day. Great coin!
There are 5 1883 V nickels on eBay in MS 65 or better right now. They're pretty readily available if you want to pay the money for them.

That sounds like the last day of pretty much every show I've been to. People start packing up around 2 or so. The bright side is you can...

Unable to tell from that pic, but it is certainly well struck.
Lol. I have a clad Kennedy at home that looks worse than this one. I bought it on purpose to show new collectors what bad AT looks like.
Blowtorch job, IMO.
Aha! You're the culprit! I had that coin in my VCoins watch list. :P
I'm surprised he didn't start out with "Friends, Romans, countrymen...." :P
