<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2157997, member: 71723"]That is an interesting amount of detail on the nickel without any obvious signs of luster. Usually when I see a '37 that detailed, there is some shine with it. And without luster, there tends to be more wear. Odd combination. I'm no bust half expert, but the toning suggests it was in an album of some kind for a long time. And since the color is different obverse vs. reverse, it indicates a one-sided view album, board or folder, probably pre-Whitman vintage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your gloves look like Kodak gloves for handling photographic negatives.
