[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1898130, member: 15309"]Based on the photos, I wouldn't go higher than MS65 for the grade of this coin. As others have pointed out, war nickels are not worth submitting for grading unless they have a legitimate shot at MS67. Leave this one raw and enjoy it as an album coin. Funny thing about my 42-S in my registry set. At one point I replaced my toned stunner with an MS67 5FS example in order to reach the number one spot in the registry. Once Mark Bressler obtained his 6th MS68 war nickel, I conceded and sold my full step example for a very nice profit.
