    I'm sorry. I realized this has nothing to do with me, but I really don't understand. Why would you need to see this or any coin in hand to know if NGC would grade it or not? Isn't there a list of coins/tokens/medals that they do or do not encapsulate?  If you looked at a picture of a Morgan dollar, or an Ethiopian birr, or a Dix civil war token, you would be able to look on your list and say, "yep, we grade those." How is this coin any different?

    Darn, you beat to the punch you ol goat :-) - shes telling a 28 year veteran of the board how to submit coins hehe

    Its says Shes a Newbie ... Please @NickiO CS Refer to your supervisor please

    I really would like an answer before purchasing this

    Thanks Mike

  3. The first coloring of the 55-c looked cast - the newer picture however I am not seeing anything that out right says its fake. A lot of wear and 

    environmental damage and graffiti but Charlottes do not come across too often. Send that in. Details coin do pretty well in the open market. 

    This coin if were to sell would do fine in a details grade NGC/PCGS holder. Could you post actual size and weight of the 55-c

    What a fabulous proof type example!  The 1883 N/C is one of my all-time favorite proof coins, period.

    As some of you know, I assembled a complete circulation strike set of V-nickels some time ago, and still have it - it's maybe my favorite collection that I've finished.  The lone exception I picked out was: the 1883 N/C nickel.  Mine is ex-NGC PR-65 CAM!  I did crack it out and placed it in my Dansco where it's been happy ever since, going on 20 years.

    Are those toning at all in the dansco ?? Curious @James_OldeTowne
