Hi guys I was wandering what this rare nickel is worth and what you think the strike quality is and if I should get it graded. Thank you all for your time!
The 1925 S nickel is notorious for being one of the worst made nickels of the whole series. That is very evident from the worn dies on the obverse of your coin. That being said, I'd put this at an AU level. The reverse is actually pretty good for this year, even if the obverse is looking weak. It all depends on the luster, which I can't tell from your pictures. If it is AU, I'd put it in the $250 range... and that's right on the border of being worth getting it graded or not.
