1867 NICKEL, RAYS,PCGS AU50, FLETCHER F-06, ONLY ONE I HAVE EVER SEEN, SEE NOTES

Description

I HAVE NEVER SEEN A F-06 OR EVEN A PICTURE OF ONE.  SNV DOES NOT HAVE A PICTURE.  THE PICTURE IN FLETCHERS IS BAD.  THERE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE 3 OTHERS, A FINE AND 2 VF-20 MAKING THIS BY FAR THE FINEST KNOWN.  THIS IS VERY CLEARLY A F-06, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ONE FOR 30 YEARS!   A COUPLE YEARS AGO I TALKED TO HOWARD SPINDEL AND HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ONE.  GRADED AU-50, THE OBVERSE IS NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT, A LITTLE GLOSSY.  REVERSE LOOKS FINE.   I USE SHIELDNICKELS.NET,  I WILL CALL "SNN" AND SHIELD NICKEL VARIETIES "SNV" TO TRY TO GET AN IDEA OF THE RARITY OF THESE ERRORS.  SOMETIMES PEOPLE COMPLAIN MY PRICES ARE TOO HIGH.  THESE ARE EXTREMELY RARE COINS.  I AM A RETIRED CHIEF WARRANT OFFICER AND WILL NOT DO WHAT A LARGE NUMBER OF MAJOR DEALERS DO, START COINS AT 99 CENTS AND THEN USE NUMEROUS SHILL BIDDERS TO BID UP THEIR COINS!  YOU USUALLY GET CAUGHT UP IN THE BIDDING AND END UP PAYING MORE OR A MYSTERIOUS "PRIVATE" BIDDER OUTBIDS YOU AT THE LAST SECOND IF YOU DO NOT BID HIGH ENOUGH!
