Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 285636, member: 6036"]Nice photos. I like the color. I've always been intrigued at how nickels tone. Yeah, I'm thinkin' MS64. That nick in the reverse field above the right leg of the "V" rules out MS65. Other than that, it has nice clean focal areas, like Liberty's cheek. I'm just rambling here, so tell me if I'm right about this... It looks like a late die state on the obverse, as indicated by several die cracks between stars 7-8-9 and 12-13. Perhaps worn dies explain the lack of detail in Liberty's hair under the "B" , the bun, and the cotton bolls. Reverse seems to lack detail in the veggies, but maybe that's as good as these "V" nickels get under high magnification like this. Or perhaps it's a weak strike.[/QUOTE]
