<p>[QUOTE=&quot;adamsp79, post: 2088071, member: 32617&quot;]I was visiting some family in a small town and stopped in at a pawn shop to see if they had any old silver coins and noticed he had a shield nickel in a little plastic bag.&nbsp; On the bag it said 1878 shield nickel, $375 bucks.&nbsp; I have absolutely zero knowledge of shield nickels but after hitting the interwebs a few days later I now know what it &quot;could&quot; be, an 1878 Proof.&nbsp; This shield nickel has seen heavy circulation and since I didn&#039;t really take time to examine it, it could be a 1873 instead of a 78.&nbsp; But now that I&#039;m back home and 4 hours away it&#039;s all I think about.&nbsp; Would 375 bucks for an uncertified, maybe G 4 1878 shield proof be a good buy?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
