    So Saturday I went to a coin show, walked around saying hi to the dealers I know, and came upon a table with a big bargain box where an older gentleman (a member of my club) was looking through it. We start looking for the good looking coins and showing them to each other. I find this 1945-P silver nickel that says BU on it for $4.75. I show it to him and he says the grade is really good. So I call over my fellow YN friend to help grade it (cause I don't grade well) and he under graded the coin at MS-63. I bought the coin from the dealer for $4 and took it to a professional coin grader. He said it's a MS-65 to MS-66, a $20+ coin.

    I'm happy!

    I would say a 65, there are marks on Jeffersons jaw line.
