I know what some (many?) people think about coins holdered by this service, however this coin is absolutely correctly graded - I would not have purchased it otherwise. As a former collector of Shield and Liberty Nickels, I am persnickety in that department and would have no problem with this coin in my own set. In all probability, this coin saw no actual use in commerce, but received what minor “rub” is present while mixed in with other coins in a misc. lot. It is also likely that this was sent in in the hopes that it would pass as an Unc, and it would almost certainly be called such in the hands of many dealers if raw. Original color, just some extremely mild scuffing and a couple of light nicks. All around a nice coin. If the purchaser chooses to crack this out and re-submit it to PCGS or NGC, I will guarantee the same grade or pay your fees.
