Grading the 1907 V-Nickel

While any coin can have collectible value, coin collectors tend to focus their efforts on coins in great condition. It is very important, therefore, to consider the coin’s condition when looking at coins this old. Because they were minted so long ago now, however, finding coins in the best of shape can be hard even for seasoned collectors.

It is important to keep in mind how a coin might be graded by a professional numismatist. When you are inspecting a coin, you are really trying to get an idea of how that coin might be graded based on its condition. Use the specs below to get a good idea of what a V-Nickel might look like in different grades.

Uncirculated: Coins assigned this grade are considered to be in excellent, almost pristine condition. These coins will have no flaws or blemishes and may be highly prized by serious coin collectors. This makes sense, after all, given the fact that these coins have never been handled on the open market. Just a quick glance at these coins and you will assume that they were just struck the same day.

Extremely Fine: Coins that are said to be extremely fine are also coveted by coin collectors. These coins appear to be in almost perfect condition as well, although they do have some very minor flaws. Any flaws may, however, only be seen under a very close visual inspection of the coin.

Fine: Many circulation coins available today will fall into this category. These coins have been widely used for decades and from all of the handling and exchanges they have experienced some wear and tear. This wear is not enough, however, to drastically affect the coin’s images or details.

Good: Most V-Nickels out there today would be considered good. These coins have been heavily circulated over the years, and may have serious scratches, dents, divots or discoloration. Serious coin collectors will most often pass on these coins, rather pursuing coins in better overall condition.
