Hey guys

I picked up this V nickel recently and I'm curious as to what you guys would grade it as ...

Either 58 or 64. Die crack is cool indeed.

My photos don't do the coin justice at all ...
The coin has some nice toning that I can't really get to show up in the photos...

I'm not sure these photos are any better , but I took them so I thought I'd post 'em
The coin is in a old PCI holder and I wanted to see how you guys graded it compared to them , my thoughts were PCI wasn't off by much :)

At first I was focused on the field scratch below the jaw, but now I'm picking up the spot above the ear, obverse pock at 1:30, and reverse nicks. Still nice - I'll revise to 63.
Rest in Peace

That's one amazing die crack all around the clock . Also looks like a die crack on reverse between 11:00 and 1:00 .
MS-63+

Thanks guys
Yeah the die crack turn out to be a neat bonus as I didn't notice it until the coin arrived ...
The coin is in an old PCI slab graded MS65..
It does have the three spots on the obverse that coinfrog pointed out , but these are pretty small spots and in hand it's tough to see 2 of the 3 without a loup ...
My thoughts were the coin would go MS64 , one of the reasons I say that is I have a 1883 graded MS63 by NGC ..
Comparing them side by side it's obvious the PCI 1883 is the better coin ...
