1953 Nickel close leaf no strap
1953 Nickel close leaf no strap
Hi, I’m looking for some feedback on the attached pictures. I found what I believe to be a five cent close leaf no strap 1953 nickel. The nine seems close to the edge and the “E and I” seem flared. I am not a coin trader or in anyway an expert and joined the forum specifically for this coin. It doesn’t look like it’s in great condition, either some damage on the queens face or error on production. Any feedback is appreciated!

Sorry but that is a common Shoulder Fold Near Leaf.
Re: 1953 Nickel close leaf no strap
Thank you for your reply. I really don’t see a shoulder fold/strap. Are you sure?
Re: 1953 Nickel close leaf no strap
I'm 100% positive.
The strap has been worn off due to the excessive wear on the coin.
