Repunched Date, FS-302 (001.1). Choice Uncirculated, certified by PCGS as Uncirculated Details for 'Environmental Damage'. This is a misnomer and an exceptionally picky determination. The 'damage' is some light surface discoloration at the rim caused by contact with moisture, probably while in a coin album page. This can be seen in the Obverse image provided as the 'whitish' area running from about 5:30 to 7:00 on the Obverse. If you are familiar with the series (or any early Nickel for that matter), this is the area where the surface luster was dulled a bit by moisture. Otherwise, the coin is well struck, fully original and has a surface equivalent to what will normally certify MS-63/64, with minimal marks and good luster. Only 4 attributed coins at PCGS in Mint State (Jan. 2024). The sole PCGS MS-63 sold for $5,000+ in 2017; it was not struck as well as this example and showed some spotting. One of the two AU-53 sold for $2,600+ in 2018, so it is logical that this coin should fall somewhere in between. Given the difficulty of determining a suitable price for a 'details' coin, I have taken a shot and added a Make an Offer option. Due to value this will require Registered Mail shipping, which is slower delivery time - please take this into account prior to considering a purchase.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
