Here is a 1930 S Buffalo Nickel that has been submitted to PCGS for restoration and graded as Fine Detail because it has not one, but two scratches: one on the front and one on the back. On the front, the scratch begins in the hair of the Indian and onto his cheek. On the reverse, it extends across the entire width of the coin. It was sent in because I felt it was a DDO (FS-101); alas, I was mistaken, although you can see some doubling on the "9" in the date. Apparently, it does not match their definition of an FS-101 and my mistake is your gain. As you examine the photos, you can see that, like so many Buffalo Nickels, the front is misaligned with the reverse, but only by a couple of degrees. PCGS (September/October 2021) indicates that an F 12 coin would be worth $5 and USACoinbook warrants that if you were to go to a dealer that you would pay almost $3 for an F 12 coin. However, you can have this restored and graded coin for only $1.50 (plus shipping).
This item is a part of a liquidation sale currently in progress and is priced to sell. Retirement looms and with no one else in the family interested in this pastime, it is time to find new homes for all of my coins. Please note that other avenues of liquidation are being explored so this particular item may not be around much longer.
Unlike my other graded coins, this coin will NOT be sent via Certified Mail because of its low value (thus the reduced shipping cost). If this coin is purchased by itself, the purchaser assumes all risk in the coin not arriving. If this is a problem, it is recommended that this coin be purchased with at least one other that would be sent via Certified Mail (see the instructions in the next paragraph). Not only will this ensure that this coin is tracked, it also will reduce your shipping costs. (Note that if purchased with another coin that will be sent via Certified Mail, the base shipping cost is $6, not the $4.25 quoted below.)
Please note that the system is not structured to adjust the shipping charges unless I was selling several coins under a single listing. (I have not seen anyone on USACoinbook do this.) Thus, if you were to order multiple coins from me (each a different denomination/year/mint/grade/etc), you could be socked with what seems to be outrageous shipping costs. To overcome this, order all of the coins you want, but do NOT pay yet. I can then go in and adjust the invoice to bring the shipping costs to a more reasonable level. At this time you should pay me.
If paying by check or money order, this coin will be shipped once funds have cleared.
Thanks for looking.
