<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 8625348, member: 92655"]I feel funny about doing this. These are images of two 1883 three cent nickels on Ebay. Coincidentally they are the only listings that are not entombed in TPG plastic. For those that don't know the series, the 1883 is a difficult date. However 1888 is a common date and easily doctored to appear to be 1883. I feel confident that the first coin is a doctored 1888 but cannot make up my mind on the second. And since I consider myself a rabid hobbyist rather than a numismatist, I thought I would put these out for everybody else's opine. So whatcha think? Doctored or not?... I plan to contact the sellers if my suspicions are confirmed.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1515924[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1515925[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit.....
