V nickel ms60 or unc

this is a coin I found metal detecting years ago in virgina out side of bedford (montvale) in 1975 when I was in the navy. I was wondering if it could be as goos as a MS65 ?

It's a nice coin and I can be wrong but it looks like it has slight wear thus the best could be an AU-58 , but wait for the others .

I agree. The stars don't always strike up fully on the Lib Nickels but that looks like wear on Stars 1 & 2 to me. And there is lots of luster missing on the obverse. Plus there are a couple of pretty good hits on the obverse - between Stars 4 & 5 and behind the curl behind Liberty's neck. The reverse photo is too blurry to make out much.

I'm gonna go low to mid AU on this one. Say AU-53 to 55.

That's a GREAT find. I can only wish to find something that nice.
