A multitude of reasons, but in part, because I just don't find many of the discussions here as interesting as they used to be. I find the same...
Based on what I'm seeing, the coin seems to have 6 Full Steps. The number of complete lines +1 equals the number of steps. Your coin has 5...
Omg, what have you guys been doing? TJ your nickel is a small S. The most easily identifiable characteristic of the variety is the triangular...
I see an MS63+
ANACS MS65 NGC MS63* MS65
MS66 CAC PR64 CAC MS62
I agree with your assessment that the coin is NT, but I disagree with your recollection of David Hall's comment which was on Coinfacts. He was...

In fairness, I'm not sure the TPGs employ that standard, I'm more using my own standard. If I see a PF67 with that level of haze, I wouldn't even...
As pointed out by others, the nick under the 3rd pillar interrupts the steps and precludes a full step designation.
Too much haze to go above PF65
I'm not sure what you guys were looking at with this one. I had it at max MS64 and that is how I cast my vote. Nothing about this coin screams...
As has already been noted, what you are concerned about it is weak strike not wear. Additionally, you wouldn't expect to see a fake slab for a...
