    I do not believe IGWT has ever purchased a shield nickel like that!

    There used to be another seller of coins and collectables that had simmilar advertising only better as in full holder shots. I can't remember the seller's name now.

Holder had the history of the World War II participation medals on it and a modern reproduction of the Pacific theater participation medal. I never knew that such medals existed. So in this case the holder was more interesting that the lead coin, which was the well-known World War II commemorative half dollar.

    I'd bid on the coin, but there appears to
    be a bit of rub on the high points.
