1867 No Rays Shield nickel, choice AU with album toning

Sorry for the darkish pictures. I tried to capture the toning on this coin and failed rather miserably. It's a bright white piece with a pale orange halo of album toning around the rims. It also has some interesting die breakage, as so many of these do. The coin might have been cleaned at one point, though I'm not 100% certain of it. I got it from Coinlieutenant, who decided it had been. So it might not slab, but again, I don't really know. What I do know is that it has terrific eye appeal and would look great in a better raw type set album. I suspect the toning resulted from just such an album.

Make me an offer- if I don't get any nibbles, I'll drop it on eBay.
