1870 Shield Nickel -- LOW COST CIVIL WAR ERA COIN! - $15 (Bolingbrook)
QR Code Link to This Post
As you can see from the pics the coin is in well-circulated shape, and it would come in as an AG grade. But even with the heavy circulation you can make out the important features, including date, lettering, and "5" on the reverse. The coin has have some moderate environmental exposure, which is what gives it the darker patina, and which is actually very common for Shield Nickels. The price of the coin was reduced nicely due to the low grade and environmental exposure, otherwise it would be priced MUCH higher.
This is a great addition for anyone with a rare coin collection. Thanks!
