Welcome to CT. Not my area but I'd say MS-63. Love that die crack on the obverse. It also has a two on the reverse.

 

AU 55 dipped?

 

I agree with AU55, but I don't know about dipped. I'm wondering if the images aren't overexposed or the white balance is off.

 

Yeah - didn't give it a thought about the coins exposure or lighting.

 

I'm at MS62 on that coin.
Unfortunately, 1883 NC nickels are not very scarce in uncirculated grades - many were saved.

 

Sorry about the bad lighting. it still has quite a bit of its original luster. I wanted to photograph it under enough light to make out all the details. The discoloration is not near as drastic as in the pictures. I'll try for a better picture, but thanks for the input everyone!

 

High end AU, old cleaning, no dip.

 

Hope this helps.

 

The coin in my opinion has been cleaned , LDS as the strike and die crack shows , AU. However it is a rpd you can see the foot of the 1 as well as the inner loop of the 3 show . Finger print on obv. These are very common Mintage 5,474,300.

 

I don't see evidence of wear on the coin. There are fingerprints, and some unattractive haziness/toning - but I don't see actual wear. I would grade it 63 - the marks on the cheek hurt it a bit, and the strike is rather weak (especially the reverse). Luster looks good, which brings it up some - but the eye appeal is neutral-to-negative (from the fingerprint and hazing).
