    Your coin is a common business strike that still looks good due to minimal circulation wear for its age.

    Ok thanks. It’s in Much better shape than most any newer circulated nickels I’ve got. Found a really good looking 39 yesterday too.

    It's a normal business strike but it sure has not been circulated. Still worth a nickel despite being so nice.

    There is a touch of wear on there but not much. Probably AU58.

    But no, it's not an SMS. Still, a nice nickel. Worth keeping at least.

    Here’s a comparison. Notice the general sharpness of the details.

    Looks like some indirect transfer on the back.
