I‘d say MS66 5FS (after having looked at it for about 3 seconds lol). There’s a hit (?) above the I in Monticello which could prevent an FS designation though.

 

I am shooting the moon at this one. The reverse is beautifully struck, which isn’t that common for that date. MS 67, 5FS. I debated about a + designation, because of the strike quality.

 

67 5FS

 

Not full step. The bottom has a flaw. [hit] breaking the line.

 

I’m guessing MS66 6FS

 

I'm at a 66 with 5 Full Steps

 

Another beauty!! Valuable nickel.

 

I thought the mint mark was different on the war nickels?

Isn't it supposed to be above Monticello?

Or is yours not a part-silver one?

 

MS 66 6FS ...I debated 66 vs 67 but went conservative with 66 (it's clean but I was slightly worried about it missing the needed luster for a 67)...the steps seem as clear of a case as I've seen in a while for all 6

 

The silver war nickels have the mint mark above Monticello.
1942 had both silver and non-silver (for which the mint mark is on the obverse for Denver and not present at all for Philadelphia).

 

I went with 66, 5FS and a +. Nice coin.

 

1942 had non silver Nickels like the Op's and silver War Nickel with the larger mintmark above the dome.

 

You beat me to it.

MS67 6FS a bit of orange peel effect with LDS on both sides?

 

I voted MS 66, 6FS. Don't think the hit is enough to prevent the FS

 

MS67 6FS

 

Easy 66 FS. Just a slight ding to the 6th step but not enough to hurt the designation. I think that the little bit of unstruck planchet roughness holds this one back. Nice!

 

66+ 6FS

I feel like the dark spot on the obverse kept it from 67. If they were not bothered by the spot and gave it 67 I wouldn’t be mad. I think it could go either way. Hopefully you got the 67 6FS
