Hard for me to tell from the pics but I think it's a lamination. However, I would grade it Good

 

Ok thanks ,dam thought it was better grade than that.

 

When posting photos, please try to insert the images into the post as opposed to adding thumbnails, particularly when asking about grades. A little more light upon the coin would have greatly benefited your photos.

A belated welcome, sir.

 

Hi thank you,will give it a go

 

Need better photos .. you may look at pcgs photograde site. This may help you

Seems our posts were a little out of sync .. I posted this before your photos
With your latest photos I would think VG is not out of line but Shield Nickels are not my specialty.

 

Much better, David. Thank you.

And I think your coin displays more remaining meat than a straight G. G+ (06) at the least, but I've seen worse labeled as VG.

 

Ha,ok thanks VG is ok I will take it

 

Anything is better than just good so thanks again

 

Looks like a die crack to me, not a lamination. I'd grade it F-12. The reverse actually grades a bit higher than that (not much).
