Hi,

I'm a bit confuse with this one. The strike is not strong and the fields have some orange skin. The luster is present.

Is Au-55 is fair for this one? The band of the king and ribbon on shoulder are weak but leafs on the reverse have strong details. I put two pictures of the same side.

Thanks!

That's actually a pretty good strike for a George V nickel IMO. I can't seem to find any wear. I'd say its UNC. Or at least really high AU.

The photos provided are too dark to offer a grade IMO

It's hard to tell with the lighting, but I have some concerns about that artifacting around the bust. It looks pock-marked around the face and over the shoulder.

Otherwise, as said, it's got a lot of great detail and is unusually well struck for the age.

Pics don't tell the whole story.

Anywhere between an au55 to an ms64.

I try a different angle and light. The luster is a bit hard to catch on picture. The orange skin is forming a kind of halo around the king head.

Thanks

is a nice strike for a 22.

I'll say au58-ms62 range.

Sure is nice to look at
