    You all know the drill :D
    ...please guess the grade.
    There are two photos, one of which is the PCGS TrueView.

    Not a nickel specialist: but then again these aren't really nickels. I'll go for MS-65 to be safe.

    Bonus question for those reading the comments: do you prefer the toning on the obverse or reverse?

    The Reverse, why?
    I just like the overall appearance of the "Golden tone". Not too distracting. The better side is all. :D

    The carbon spots hurt the grade a little.

    My eyes are continually drawn to the booger flying out of his nose.

    To answer the other question, I prefer the toning on the reverse. That side is much more subtle and pleasing to me. The obverse is way too "in your face" to me.

    I thought the carbon spot under the nose was a booger.

    MS65. Can't do full steps as there appears to be a hit or something on the top two steps in the middle.

    Or a small lamination. Steps can have dings or contact as long as it doesn't break the riser, or bridge two steps together.

    PS, I like the obverse. Rainbow periphery and those Blues and Reds are unique.

    UNC-Details. Questionable Color.

    I shy away from grading from photos, but have a question; Is that artificial toning? Looks like it me.
