Message:: [QUOTE="phankins11, post: 2196048, member: 70703"]I have the Cherrypicker's Guide right in front of me...still don't see it being an RPD nor do I see the die clash. I blame it on the pictures tho...I just don't feel I could 100% for sure say its that variety until I have loupe and coin in hand or a magnified high def pic. [USER=72718]@thepersonman[/USER] - if you have a loupe You can try to figure it out...her is the info[ATTACH=full]427304[/ATTACH] I get what you're saying here. But again I feel the cleaning part is irrelevant. If Paddy54 is right then he's right on with the price...even looking at the pic, Cherrypicker's says $75. Only you can determine if its that variety. If it is...that's really cool! If it's not that variety and its just a straight up 1899 Liberty Nickel in XF condition, Gray Sheet ask is $27 (keep in mind that's dealer to dealer pricing). Coin world price guide says $33 for XF 40, and Numismedia FMV says $36 for XF40. I'd put yours north of that at XF45. Even if you paid $40 I still think you did OK. If you paid somewhere in that range for a straight up non variety V nickel you did good, even if its been cleaned...just my humble opinion tho. If you paid more than that...meh...maybe you over paid...but buy how much and could you have purchased more coins with the overage...i dunno...again only you can know that. I'd say find out if its the FS-05-1899-301. And for God's sake...tell us if YOU like the coin! That's what's important.[/QUOTE]
