Help with what grading it might be and also tips on how to better photograph would be appreciated ( images taken with a flashlight and IPhone X) I'm new to these forums and will in future be posting other coins in collection thanks.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/15/2018 11:53 pm Good photos, but not quite sharp enough to judge FS or not. If you plan to do a lot of grading, it would be a good investment to get a $10 LED lighted 30x jewelers loupe off of ebay or Amazon. Just hold it right up to the camera lens and take photos through that. Back on subject, I think I see some flat spots. FS is a pretty exclusive designation; even the smallest flat spot will bar it.

Jbedwell Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 12:35 am Good looking Nickel. I believe it is a proof, so it should have FS. You can tell by the polished look. Typically a business strike will be not as reflective. But I would wait to hear from the experts. I'm always wrong. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 03:00 am I'd guarantee that's a proof. Now being a FS 1962 proof is pretty common. Report this Post to the Staff
