I am brand new to this. I have a 1953 nickle and I want to sell it if it has any value. The trouble is, there seems to be a thousand different versions I can not understand what I have (or dont have) and its value. I dont know what all the codes mean with the near/far/something about the I, and chrome or no chrome???? I have added 3 pictures. Front back and next to another nickle....PLEASE HELP!!??

Thx so it looks like near and the I looks like it is curved.....what is PL and SP, also. How do I know if it is missing chrome? The finish is not like the one I took the photo with, but is that just because it is a different year?

The year doesn't change anything.

PL means Proof-Like and SP means Speciment. Your coins aren't in these categories.
