Lack of detail in Jefferson's Hair and on the reverse there is significant loss of detail of the Building including the steps. That's what I see. I go MS64 as my highest grade.

 

Thats not wear its just a worn die strike.The areas you pointed out are some of the most common spots for die weaknesses on war nickels.you shouldn't penalize the coin because of this.These dies are 2 years old so this is pretty common on 44's and 45's.

 

Grading any coin the first thing I look at is contact. Then I inspect the luster, Then I will check eye appeal. The very last thing is strike.
Just trying to help ya.

 

Agreed.

 

MS-64- MS65 Final answer(I don't work cheap)
Just trying to help.

 

@physics-fan3.14 describes grading as SLEC.
Strike
Luster
Eye Appeal
Contact.

 

I gave it as high as a MS-65. I don't know what you're grumbling about. This is from my ANA Grading Standards handbook as I see it. Just MHO.

 

View and grade the coin yourself,don't really on a book!!!!.

 

Okay, Grasshopper! Here's a message from your Karate Master: " Do not follow the wind for the wind has no direction".

 

Do not follow a book as your mind is a more open reliable space with unlimited answers and thoughts compared to what a book can only behold.

 

@Pickin and Grinin, Hand it over and I'll look at it as @potty dollar 1878 recommended.

 

That is evidence of a weak strike. Many of the war nickels had weak strikes.

 

I guessed 66. You even liked it.

 

Guess I needed to have another cup of coffee this morning.

 

Morning?boy time Flys by,its 5:00 in the afternoonyou get it.

 

Sorry I missed this one. I'll guess before I look at page 2. I'd guess MS-67 in a SEGS holder. Really nice color!

 

Oh good. I didn't miss the reveal!

 

MS67. Nice gem.
