GTG Technical grade VS Market Grade 3 of 3/4

So yeah, I will be adding another coin to this series.
Except it will be a type 1 original design.
Here is an 84P to give your opinion.

MS63

 

MS-64 .

 

Technical grade of 65 FS, market of 64 FS if there is no displaced metal around that mark on the reverse. It does not look like it's displaced and may have been in the planchet prior to striking. But it is very distracting hence the reduction in grade. If that is a post strike hit, then I could see it getting a 63 FS.

Yes that is left over planchet roughness, definitely not a bag mark.

 

This one looks cleaner than the others but has the one unfortunate hit on the reverse (above “Five”)…the last two steps look merged, so only five are visible
….final answer MS 65 5FS
(almost certainly now and I’m thinking the same technical grade-although one could be more conservative and say 64 5FS)

 

Sorry for the dark photo. It is a dark coin.
The mark is noticeable but not as distracting as I originally photo'd it.
Not to mention the same tone as the coin.

 

I was hoping to get a few more guess's on this one.
the coin has a nice smooth frost on it. The steps are
just shy of 6 steps under the third pillar.

 

I plan on posting the last nickel after the weekend,
Have a great Labor day tomorrow!
