Post your nickels

It's always something! The mark in the collar on the obverse and the tiny spot on the reverse to the NW of the M in Monticello. Otherwise 6 FS with a few light polish lines has very good luster. Also a die chip in front of the forehead. Very nice strike, I think. I think the plastic in the 2 by 2 is limiting the detail on the photograph; the steps for sure.

@Lem E hoping to see more of your storied collection. Do you have your own website cataloging them?
I may have zero (well, a few now) quality pieces, but what i lack, i make up for, in quantity.
For i.e.,

I forget how many silver I've found in the wild. I love seeing the gorgeous stuff, but I'm trash at heart, so I'll always be drawn to the junk, lol. Any info on your collection would be welcomed, please.
Thanks. Have a great day, everyone.

 

Thats a nice pile you have there @CoinJockey73. I don’t have a website or anything. Just my registry sets at NGC. The sets are still a work in progress. Some of my coins I have had imaged and some are my own pics. You can definitely tell the difference. The main nickel set is only around 75% complete. I get distracted and buy other coins that I like, and some I just haven't found the right ones for the set (or can’t afford them). Best place to see my stuff would be the NGC registry. I also have my Whitman folders for my circ finds and I started a Dansco crackout album where Im cracking out 65/66s and building that set of nickels as well. I’m not very far with it.

 

As I stated in the "under $50" thread, this could easily be an MS67. NGC loved the crusty super clean war nickels back in the "old fatty" days of grading.

 

I really like your nickel!

This is mine, which is pretty nice. Yours just seems to have that extra bit of “zing” with the golden color, sharp details, and lustrous surfaces.

I don’t envy the grader trying to figure out if a Reverse of 1938 has full steps or not, since there was no attempt to portray the sharply-engraved complete steps until the next year.

 

Lehigh96 you should hook up with kookoox10 for a little video action...Insanely...Amazing...!

 

Added this week. The 38 is in a Rattler Holder. It is very nice for a 66. My pics suck, but happy with both coins.

 

Thank you I appreciate that. Yours looks very nice as well.

Your pictures didn't come through.I would suggest to start your own thread with clear proper pictures of the coin in question.

 

Nice reverse toning!

 

Slightly better photos still of the toning and reverse polish lines. 5FS maybe 6...
