    Nice CRH find. Nice album filler until you find a better specimen.

    It's a 1920. I can see the date and the one-year only curved hair ribbon.

    Nice find!

    Not much value except as an album filler but an unusual find. Keep trying. There is always the chance that some heirs will dump better coins back into circulation.

    All glory is fleeting.

    A fun fact I learned here on the Forum...

    Between the braid and the date area are two ribbons or strings hanging down. The left one has a very distinctive curve in the middle. That feature is still visible long after the date has worn off and can be used to date even dateless coins since it was only used on nickels in 1920.
