1883 No Cents Newp

Just thought I would share. Getting back into the swing of things after a Summer break
Reverse looks to be struck through grease and All devices show signs of doubling to the South.
Under 10x Loupe Hard to see in Photo.

    Liberty nickels ROCK!
    You Suck! Awarded 6/2008- 1901-O Micro O Morgan, 8/2008- 1878 VAM-123 Morgan, 9/2022 1888-O VAM-1B3 H8 Morgan | Senior Regional Representative- ANACS Coin Grading. Posted opinions on coins are my own, and are not an official ANACS opinion.
  • Kinda looks like hairlines on the reverse, so cleaned and retoned maybe? (Better pics might prove me wrong)
    Is that white balance a little off, or is that the way the coin looks?
    It is a nice coin, has nice details to it, I like it image

    it looks like a racketeer nickel.
    many of those no-cent nicks were colored gold
    and passed off as $5 gold pieces to the unsuspecting

    Was thinking of that as well, but wonder if the coin is silver, and white balance is off, or it is gold colored. Either way still a nice coin image

    I've become quite fond of Liberty Nickels. I hope to make it to the L.A. ANA to view all five of the famous 1913 pieces.image

    Yes Sir, The color is not quite right. In Hand is Nickel color. Wife swapped out all the Light bulbs in the house with the Florescent ones.
    Now I have to go back out and get me a couple of incandescent ones so all the photos won't have that Yellowish tinge to them.
