Hey guys! Here's my first ever three-cent nickel. What grade would you guys give it?
I hope the pic is good enough.

A bit tough to grade with the photo. Can't tell if the III has individual lines or if they are worn, so I would say that this should be a VF coin or so.

The first numeral is worn only in the middle, the second has lines only near the top, and the third has nearly full lines except for a small area in the top-left.

I'd give it a F-15 due to the wear on the hair and the numerals. Maybe a VF-20 weak strike.

I am along the lines of F-15 to VF-20 give or take.

Thanks guys. Before I posted it, I was thinking around F-15 as well for it, but I see now that it looks like it could touch VF-20 also.
Rest in Peace
