Found it how ... roll searching or in a dealers cabinet?

MS- something. Not FS. Nice key date.

My guess is there is some friction if you found it in change, so I'll go with 58 as well.

This is one amazing pocket change find! It looks to be about MS-64 in my opinion.

Just because it was found in change does NOT mean it has to be AU. What is happening here is you are taking the circumstances into account without actually looking at the coin. It is most certainly MS, and I bet if the OP had said this came from an OBW you would agree.

A grader would not know that this came from circulation, and would base his/her opinion on the coin itself. That is what we should be doing.

Rollsearcher is right. MS grades are about condition, not how/where the coin is found. At the mint circulation coins are simply tossed into bags. So a coin right out of the mint can have some degree of wear.

This particular coin appears to be MS from the photos, and I would go as high as MS-65 because of the clean fields. It may have come out of someone's collection originally.

I'll have you know I've searched over 4-5 million nickels amongst 11 years of CRHing and NEVER found a 1950 D, but I've found every coin in the jefferson series, and over 50+ Buffalo nickels and V nickels dating back to 1892.
