I see no cleaning marks, Liberty's profile is frosty, and I see little to no wear. But... I also don't see mint luster, but that could just be me. It almost looks proof-like in hand. I don't really do nickels of any kind, and grabbed his as a type coin. I'd appreciate a grade, and if you see any problems with the coin. Thanks! (Click to enlarge)
I say AU 58 it does have some wear on the devices. The 83 Liberty nickel doesn't on average have a lot of luster,with most better looking coins falling into the Au low MS grade range. There is something in the denticles between the 3 and 13th star. Looks like a line running through the teeth. There's several die cracks one from start 1 through the date ,this is common for this date and series
Maybe a die scratch? Is this worthy of submitting? I'm doing the ANACS fall special ($9), and this is a potential candidate.
Hmmm... 58, 63, 58, 62, 66PL, 64, 58, and 65. Average comes to 61.75, so how many would agree with 62?
