[QUOTE="Strozzie, post: 2335143, member: 77162"]Hi, I am pretty new to CRH - even though I have been interested in coins since 2007-ish (since I was maybe nine years old?), I only started looking for rarities and silver five months ago. As I was searching through my nickel jar in September, I found this bizarre-seeming coin, and was wondering what it would be graded as. Just as I have mentioned, this is a 2011P Jefferson Nickel. The strike seems pretty crisp, and the field/deepest part seems minimally scratched. However, the luster is almost non-existent, so I'm not even sure what this grade would be. I've seen matte-ish coins that receive that tone because of their extensive circulation, but the crispness of the design always shows that amount of wear as well. This wouldn't make sense to be one of the Frosty Finish nickels from 1994 or 1997, so what is the deal here? I haven't found anything about it via USA Coinbook nor my RedBook, so am I just on a wild goose chase with this coin? Please help! I included four pictures to help with this - two of solely the coin, and two of a comparison with a normal-luster nickel (the 2011P is on the left) Much appreciated, Strozzie[/QUOTE]
