<p>[QUOTE="toned_morgan, post: 4640899, member: 97258"]Photograde is good but honestly I just hop onto eBay and look at the thousands of examples they have there. Find multiple coins with good pictures of each grade and just look at them all and eventually you will learn to distinguish between the grades without having to compare to a picture. The toning looks a bit suspicious because nickels usually don't tone that way. To me, it looks a bit more like PVC residue from a crappy flip. I'm not 100% sure, so we'll see what others say, but to me the toning doesn't loom too good. Then the grade is around AU. It does have nice luster, but not quite enough and I can see a layer of very light wear on the whole coin, which is why the luster isn't as strong as MS examples. I would say it is a high AU, but the toning is still very suspicious. Honestly, $35 is not too bad since it is raw, but again, I don't know if it would grade cleanly with that toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
