<p>[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 988393, member: 5787"]Although I'm still quite stunned at this one, I purchased 11 coin books at an auction a couple of weeks ago for a total of $10. The face value of the coins in the books was worth over $25. Quite to my surprise, the collection included a partial book of V-nickels. Further to my surprise, it included an 1886. I'm far from an expert on V-nickels and was wondering if it could be a fake. It has a darker color to it than my other V-nickels and the darker color is homogeneous across the entire coin surface. Other than a small nick at 10:00 on the obverse, the coin is in rather good condition (VG-8?). Has anyone seen this kind of toning on a V-nickel?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
