In it's own waaaaaaaay.....

Craton - I saw a recent thread where a board member described a Liberty nickel as "average, ugly, urine-toned, zero eye-appeal". And he was talking about an UNCIRCULATED example. But YOUR coin REALLY TAKES THE CAKE!!!

Craton · May 11, 2004 2:56PM

Cladiator, your coin isn't that bad. All it needs is a little bath.

Craton · May 11, 2004 2:59PM

Crackout, I'm not a huge fan of the V nickel but I have one that has rainbow tones that I think is very sweet! This is off topic but now I have to share the image. I sent it in to PCGS and they gave it an AU58 because of the gashes on the neck that I didn't see when I purchased it. I would have bought it anyway but not paid as much as I did.

I disagree with an AU grade on that coin.

<< I disagree with an AU grade on that coin. >>

What would you call it? I can find zero wear on the coin so I assumed that it must have been the marks on the neck. I was pretty sad when I got the grading results but at least they didn't body bag it for questionable toning ......

Sphinx357 · May 11, 2004 4:13PM

I don't see any wear either, very nice liberty nickel and IMO it should grade higher.

An important life's lesson is that one man's hideous beast is another man's goddess.

Elcontador · May 11, 2004 4:15PM

Jason,

It looks like there is a slight bit of wear re Miss Liberty's hair. Due to the toning, you don't see noticeable luster breaks that otherwise would be noticed. Look at one in MS 65 & you'll see more hair detail.

I have a nice apricot toned 1899 in PC 6; it's really scarce to find an attractively toned Liberty Nickel. The nicks on your Liberty Nickel's neck don't affect the coin's grade. The carbon spots wouldn't keep it from an Unc. designation, either.

The problem is I don't know how to bathe coins

Dang K6AZ, that`s is one wierd coin.

I picked up this Buffalo in Toronto, Canada for $1 ( about 73 cents US )

Here`s some road kills I have.

K6AZ · May 11, 2004 5:03PM

Mirror mirror on the wall, who has the ugliest classic half cent of them all?

You guys might as well give up, I am the king of ugly coins.

ccr · May 11, 2004 5:17PM

K6AZ - Geez, so far you got us all beat!

Lovely coins you got there.

That half cent looks like it was made out of a pumpkin pie mix.

What's left of the obverse of a Wash quarter. Reverse is normal.

Craton · May 12, 2004 6:08AM

A fleagle and another nickel anyone?

Craton · May 12, 2004 6:09AM

Anyone like barber dimes?

Man, these are nice!! I wish I had a digital camera, I have a whole collection of fugly coins that would give these a run for their money.

that's awesome

oldcameoproofsguy · July 26, 2004 3:08PM

I don't know whether to keep this one in my collection or use it as a nail file. I didn't take it out of the 2X2 because I thought I might cut myself on it.
