<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 5172618, member: 19165&quot;]1: 66 no-FS. Moderate eye appeal. Well struck, but marks across the steps preclude the designation. Luster is impeded by toning. This one doesn&#039;t look amazing and it doesn&#039;t have FS... not great, not terrible. </p><p><br /></p><p>2. 66 no FS. Attractive color, but clearly a weak strike precludes FS. I&#039;m kinda ambivalent about this one, because it isn&#039;t amazing color/toning/eye appeal, and its weakly struck. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. 65 FS. Clearly no toning (and most likely dipped, but ok). Steps are strong, luster appears much stronger than the other two (might be the pictures, might be the slightly hazy toning on the other two). However, it is a lower grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, you have to decide what you want - decent eye appeal, strong luster, good strike, or FS. I know you well enough to know that you want at least 3 of the 4 in any coin you buy... so I voted for coin 3. However, I&#039;m trying to picture any of these 3 in your collection, and none of them really seem to fit. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know nickels like you do - is it a difficult task to get a high grade, good eye appeal, strong strike, good luster, FS coin for this date?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
