Not exactly the best strike in the world... but looks pretty clean. I'll say MS62, either that or an AU55... I really have a hard time telling what is strike and wear sometimes.

On second look, that does look like wear... I stand by my AU55.

How about au50

I don't know if it's just the pic or my eyes, but it looks like an impaired proof to me. I am going to take a stab at PR35

MS64.

It really looks like a weak strike rather than wear. I'd assume such a weak strike would keep it out of MS65 condition.

Weak strike MS64. Mike

Looks like an error, otherwise they would have bagged it

Yup, weak strike in my opinion. 61?

Draco · January 26, 2003 5:13AM

I'm impressed. Personally, I would have thought AU50 (obverse looks sick). NGC says weak strike. I don't like weak strike coins and I have no idea why I even bought it (it's why I don't like peace and franklins). I keep it hidden away.

I say MS62 Rub above and around the ear.

Never Mind i didn't see that you already posted the grade..

hookedoncoins · January 26, 2003 5:46AM

I was right with my first guess

. I never cared for weak struck coins either. Look at my sig coin

<< <i>I say MS62 Rub above and around the ear. >>

If there is a rub, wouldn't that make it AU?

He meant "scuff" around the ears-----------BigE

I would have guessed MS-62, There is no wear on that coin, just strike weakness. Actually I have seen a lot of three cent nickels like this.

This coin was given a 62, probably because the surface preservation is nice. Most of the weak strike 3 centers you will se in Ms-60,61 holders.

MacCoin · January 27, 2003 12:03AM

I changed my mind I mean MS62

I would have really never guessed it was that high. but its a nice looking coin. do you thing the smaller coin get a better grade?

nwcs · January 27, 2003 12:14AM

I had guessed 62 before seeing the grade. Maybe 63. Definitely a weak strike and you can see the original planchet texture.

dorkkarl · January 27, 2003 12:32AM

i guessed ms-63 prior to seeing the grade. that is NOT a common coin as-is!

don't dismiss it as piece 'o junk - take the time to research it. you might enjoy it.

It also has a rotated reverse-or obverse-one or the other
