Welcome to Coin Talk. We need clear full size photos of both sides of the coin in order for us to help you. If you can, post a closeup of the steps. Thank you.

Looks like full steps, but, try to post a picture with less glare.

 

It could be the lighting but IMO it looks like there are breaks in the steps on the right side. If there are breaks it wouldn't get a full step designation. If you think it's a full step nickel try and take photos in different lighting with less glare.

My inclination is no.

 

is that better new at this thanks alot!

 

It's a proof coin. Al proofs should have full steps

 

Welcome to Coin Talk !!

BTW, I voted " Any ".

 

how can u tell if it's a proof?

 

what's btw ?

 

Proofs have a stronger sheen than ordinary business strike coinage.

Also, "BTW" is an abbreviation of "By the way".

 

I'm kind of sincerely looking for help with all this when I put any in the slot what is a proper post in the pole slot? any answer or help! !I I I meant

 

Because it is. The square rims and sharply struck devices.
64 happens to be one of the worst if not the worst struck nickel in the series. Most didn't even have steps. 6 full steps do not exist on a philly business strike.

 

so what do uthink this would grade out at?

 

If this is a proof and I haven't bothered to look, I just read the posts,
it can grade anywhere from PR-01- PR -70.
Proof is not a grade, it is a special way to make coins, different from the regular process with different planchets and different dies, and different pressure and different strikes. (2 strikes I think, instead of 1.)
Most Proofs grade in the 60's. Impaired proofs can grade less.

 

thanks Michael I thought I thought it was pretty nice coin to share thanks! !!
