<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 25521651, member: 106826"]The ribbon from the braid. There are different flows for the ribbon which would indicate a worn date nickle from the early 20’s. Yours doesn’t have one of those. The reverse would indicate the mint it’s from. Since yours is dateless, without a mint mark, and has the common ribbon, it’s likely a Philadelphia nickel from the teens since most nickels from the mid to late 20s still show a date. If it were a dateless 20s but could still be attributable, you might not want to pickle it. And if it had the Tyoe 1 reverse, you would know it’s from 1913. You have Type 2, so without a date and a contributing diagnostic or two, pickling could bear out what you have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
