I'm thinking it'll grade at Very Fine condition. There's a lot of details on both sides. Not really worn down much from circulation.

@Errer and Varietys thank you for the input. I appreciate you being humble. It sounds like I found a decent piece to add to my collection.

That's actually a nice example. I agree with E&V at high VF grade range.

Nice V nickel and I'd put it closer to XF-40 to my eyes

Kay, when posting photos ensure they are properly oriented

XF45. the photos are a little cloudy. I think its actually better than the photos are showing. a little more lighting would also help.

Nice coin for its age.
Can you please crop and turn your pic the right way up please. I had to turn my monitor clockwise to see it right.

Agree with XF-40, a decent example of this common date nickel. In case you wanted to know, a reasonable value would be about $30. Most circulated Liberty nickels I see are badly worn and only worth a buck or two. This one is very nice by comparison.

It's "Pretty Darn Good" -
Miss Liberty's hair has a lot of details to it - I'd say lower AU condition!

Yeah, that's "reasonable" if you're a dealer -
Even thought the PCGS price guide is always on the high side - they list an 1887 Liberty nickel in 45 (Extra Fine) grade at $110.

Very nice coin with great details and I agree with XF40 or 45. I look forward to see other coins you may want to share.
