Christmas coin from my mother-in-law!

She also collects coins...and usually she buys me what she likes! This year it is the 2008 Redbook and an 1866 3-Cent Nickel....of course I don't know a thing about the series! Anything special I need to look for? From what it looks like compared to my ANA grading standards book imageimage... it appears to grade somewhere between VF and EF! I have no way to take a decent pic, but it is a darker(not toned) gray color...surfaces look original and evenly worn. Any info on the series as always is appreciated!

PS...Merry whatever ya'll celebrate...it' Christmas in this house. image

    I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

    My ex-mother-in-law was a collector, and a nice lady.

    My current mother-in-law is a nice lady, but no numismatist.
