My V nickel Fresh From NCS/NGC

[MAULEMALL]

In a AU58 Piece oplastic that really doesn't do this coin justice.

Here's her Bum.....I bought it from a dealer who had BU on it.

I was just starting out into stuff other than State Quarters.

I guess it's OK though .....I got My 1981 Type 2 set back that I paid the same guy $12.00 for.

It still looks like a pretty nice coin. I am not sure what you paid, but I think all of us have learned the same sort of lessons the "hard way" as you did. I still have an 1839 RE bust half that I bought as an AU that had altered surfaces, that was an expensive lesson. It really emphasizes the need to really look at a lot of coins of a particular type, and get familiar with the series before laying down the cash.

It is a nice coin.NCS did a great job cleaning off some ugly toning.(That May Have Been A Bad Thing)

 

 

I am going to keep it here on my desk ,Right beside my 1905 Indian cent, By the way also a BU, That just got back as AU55.Still they will sit as a reminder.
