My weekly trip to the LCS for Canadians yielded a 1926 near 6 nickel at face value, in a group of 25 coins, my first '26.

It looks to be a VF-20, although there is a slight rim ding at 8 o'clock on the reverse. I would load a photo, but I don't know how to do that.

Thanks for the grading link! My coin looks like a VF-20, but the rim ding would reduce that. Anyway, it's a nice hole-filler and a keeper. Maybe my LCS will have another one at face without the rim problem LOL.

Thanks for the help!

I'm usually open to doubling my money, but in this case I need to keep this coin a bit longer. I just noticed that the die is rotated, judging by the photo. Could jack up the value(?).
