<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lincoln64, post: 20453, member: 1232&quot;]I have become interested in collecting liberty nickels. I’ve done a little online research as to grading these coins and have some questions maybe you can help me with. One of the sites I visited showed where the high points of the coin are, these are the point that I’m assuming will get the most wear. On the reverse of the coin, toward the top, there are stalks on each side. These are two of the high points. Another point of wear is the bow of the ribbon holding the wreaths at the bottom.</p><p>&nbsp;I have seen several coins that were advertised as BU that have considerable wear on the lower left side ear of corn but the right side&nbsp; corn absolutely clean and crisp. There is slight wear on the bow, but no wear on the high points of the stalks. The obverse shows no sign of wear at all and appears pristine.</p><p>Is it possible for these coins to be BU. Am I mistaking wear for some sort of weak strike problem?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
