<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 918148, member: 19456&quot;]One thing I notice is that there seem to be more abused V nickels than any other kind of coin! I don&#039;t know why that is, but they are so common in such low grades that there is almost nothing left to them. (Most of mine are in that condition)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The 1883 no cents is so widely available because at the time, newspapers printed reports that they would be recalled and destroyed, so people saved them. That was not ever the case, but, well, that&#039;s the media for you <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Even I have an 1883 no cents in fairly high grade...they are ubiquitus...lol. </p><p><img src="http://images54.fotki.com/v452/photos/4/348354/7792842/USA1883nickelnocentsa-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://images53.fotki.com/v535/photos/4/348354/7792842/USA1883nickelnocentsb-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Most of mine look more like this 1884 example....or worse...though. It&#039;s 100 years older than I am.</p><p><img src="http://images51.fotki.com/v1550/photos/4/348354/7792842/USA1884nickela-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://images50.fotki.com/v1570/photos/4/348354/7792842/USA1884nickelb-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This 1912 might just be the ugliest coin in my collection. It looks MUCH worse in person! Normally, scans make the coin look worse than it actually is. Not so in this case, it makes it look much, much better.</p><p><img src="http://images54.fotki.com/v239/photos/4/348354/7792842/USA1912nickela-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://images12.fotki.com/v539/photos/4/348354/7792842/USA1912nickelb-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Unfortunatly for me, it has the most detail remaining of any I have with the cents spelled out![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
