Looks like a 64 to me. Numismedia FMV would be $81.00

I'm in the MS-64 camp on this nickel.

I'd say 63-64. I own more than a few of these and weak strikes don't seem to be an issue on them as far as TPGs go. The as viewed left corn is notoriously weak on these. As well, stars 1 and 2 are often weak however other stars are commonly weak in random combinations. Its hard to say what you would get from selling this on ebay, especially raw, but with the right description and photos realistically I can see it going for between 50 to 70. |

I was at MS64 myself. And it does have PL qualities. As for selling I won't. I picked this up yesterday as an upgrade for my 7070 Type Set. Thank you everyone for your input.

I will say MS-63 or 64, it looks a little better than the MS-62 example I cracked out for my album. Not an expert on this type so this is just a guess on my part and is why I purchased graded examples for the album. This one was MS-62 and yours looks a little better than this one to me   |

Wow, Bryan. For someone who isn't an expert on these you sure have a keen eye. Thats one of the better strikes I've seen.

On further review I just saw the tick on Liberty's chin, so I'm thinking MS-63 now, it sure looks PL however and that means the luster is still present. A very nice coin RAW in a type set for sure.

Can you elaborate more on the weak strike. I'm not seeing it. Am I missing something? At the bottom of the wreath on the left, it's not an ear of hotdog. |

If people are willing to accept weak strikes as gem coins, that's their decision. I won't pay 65 money for weakly struck coins.

It's not THAT weakly struck in my opinion. Seems within normal range.
Surfaces look 65, maybe 64 if there are marks that aren't showing up in the photos. Slightly proof like.

Well, as the inheritor of the coin that this coin replaced, I think your current version of this series is awesome! Very nice coin!
