D. This was scanned on an all in one home scanner. I noticed scanner flaws, not coin flaws. I do not have a USB microscope yet.

This is the first year of the liberty Nickels series, and for some reason the most common that I see. Probably many were set aside. Look at the back. Some interesting history, if it doesn't say "cents" on it it's the first and more common variety. A guy named Josh gold plated them and passed them off as five dollar gold pieces, hence the term "joshing you". Halfway through the year they changed and added the word "cents" for the less common variety which might be worth a few dollars more. Yours is in such a nice condition, probably worth about five dollars.

We may use your appraisal on our site as reference for others with the same item(s). We'll never display your personal information and will remove all sensitive information from your submission. Please contact us for a private appraisal. View our privacy policy.
Most inquiries we get are about circulated coins made after 1971, and/or coins where people mistake post-mint damage and wear for "errors". You can expect us to affirm these are face value. We ask that before you write and submit such questions, to PLEASE first read through our existing postings and our "what it's worth" primers.
