Repunched Date, FS-302 (001.1). Choice Uncirculated, certified by PCGS as Uncirculated Details for 'Environmental Damage'.  This is a misnomer and an exceptionally picky determination. The 'damage' is some light surface discoloration at the rim caused by contact with moisture, probably while in a coin album page. This can be seen in the Obverse image provided as the 'whitish' area running from about 5:30 to 7:00 on the Obverse.  If you are familiar with the series (or any early Nickel for that matter), this is the area where the surface luster was dulled a bit by moisture.  Otherwise, the coin is well struck, fully original and has a surface equivalent to what will normally certify MS-63/64, with minimal marks and good luster. Only 4 attributed coins at PCGS in Mint State (Jan. 2024).  The sole PCGS MS-63 sold for $5,000+ in 2017; it was not struck as well as this example and showed some spotting.  One of the two AU-53 sold for $2,600+ in 2018, so it is logical that this coin should fall somewhere in between.  Given the difficulty of determining a suitable price for a 'details' coin, I have taken a shot and added a Make an Offer option.
