Wow. That is some blaring luster, as good as it gets. These are held to a pretty high grading standard, but I think I can get on board with MS64 for it.

Can't see it getting less than 64. Really nice eye appeal.

Looks MS-64 to me.
Move that hit on the cheek into the hair and you'd get a -65.

This one needs to be in a PCGS holder! Every time I look at it I like it more!

MS 64 at least.

The corn on the left is showing definition, not something you see much of in the V nickels .

MS64. A little loss (soft strike/worn die) in the hair definition & stars and that hit on the upper cheek (ouch), but still a looker!

I'll go with a technical grade of MS64 ... but would be remiss to not mention the strike weakness that IMHO prevents this from being a great coin.

The muddy stars and hair detail on the obverse tell the strike story ... best I can see from the photo only 3-4 stars show full pedal detail ... and the hair above Ms Liberty eye is weak.

Same for the reverse ... I do not see the mentioned details in the left corn cob ...

All in all a lovely MS coin with soft strike details.

That was my comment, and looking at it again, I think you are correct. I am not sure what I thought I saw...

But I agree and think it is a nice coin.

EDIT: I tried to update my earlier comments but was unable to, if any MODS feel like editing them, have at 'er.
