<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 646730, member: 3726"]Visited the coin store a couple of weeks ago and the dealer was telling me about the 1879 nickel they got in. He wanted to show it to me - they looked high and low, but could not find it. The owner figured one of the others must have sold it. I was truly disappointed. Today I walked in - searched the special boxes, the large cents(couple of nice ones, nothing special), liberty nickels and shields nickels - nothing perked my interest. The owner was in the back looking through stuff and finally walked out an laid a coin in front me. He told me he stuck it back for me to see(and forgot where last time) - found it after I left. He figured I would want to check it out. Needless to say it has found a home. Now only one more business strike(1880) to go and a 1877 proof. </p><p><br /></p><p>As always all comments go and bad are welcome.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/1879-O-3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/1879-R-3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Grades - PCGS Genuine, NGC - BB, NCS - AU Details, ANACS -MS Details net AU, Mark - AU Details and worth every penny I spend.
