<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bugo, post: 2137135, member: 53226&quot;]I saw this on ebay and had to have it because it is an oddity. It&#039;s a 1953 nickel with no mintmark that was graded an F12 by ICG. According to ICG&#039;s website, it&#039;s the only 1953 F12 nickel that they have ever graded. My question is why? As far as I know it is a common date Jefferson nickel. I just wonder what possessed somebody to send it in for grading. It&#039;s obvious by looking at the nickel that it is a lower grade. Maybe it was sentimental and they wanted to slab it, but why would they sell it on ebay with a buy it now price under $4? It&#039;s a mystery for sure.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/1953%20ICG%20nickel%20obv_zpsvvnkxlph.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/53%20ICG%20nickel%20rev_zps3zocs4gi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
