I'm not reading the reverse of this coin at all . what the heck is all that going on with the rims ? Looks like only 4 steps but last photo looks like you spilled milk on the coin then took the photo . Doesn't look like a well struct coin especially the Monticello building . MS-64 eye appeal
7/10 .

Good point t_bopster. The one where the milks is spilt all over... I think its called a negative or like a reverse but 8m stupid maybe it highlights the points on a surface which is very reflective such as a nickel but its doest pay im srry let me clean up all this milk everywhere ughh. thank u for your opinion. P.S. would you be so kind to inform me on how u take your brilliant tip top magoo pics I'd be delighted to learn so.

MS64, might go 5 steps, which in some books is FS.

I've seen that look often on 1950s nickels, many steps are present but the rest of Monticello is soft. The other devices are a bit soft too indicating it's not an early die state, not late either.

Beautiful coin! I'd have to agree with the guys and say MS64 but I think you can find a reputible grading service to honor the FS, given how mushy that year is

Thanks everyone for your opinions I got the coin on a trade the coin I traded was prob worth 12 bucks. Not sure if its worth getting slabbed. What do y'all think?

I already did . 50-D Jeff's are a dime a dozen graded in 65-66, you would need your coin to be 67-68 .

Weak strike especially on the reverse.
IF it's MS then maybe -62

I agree the reverse is kinda of mushy but for less than 3 million minted for circulation and as stated the dies were horrible for that year I think it's an EDS justva bad year that's all.

Not FS because of this spot. If that mushy part wasn't there, it may have been FS.

I see your point and it's a very valid one at that but I see at least 5 pretty nice fs not 6 I will agree there is a very very minor disturbance as I circled but for this year I've seen worse looking 1950 D slabbed coins at shows and shops and the reverse on the steps didnt take my breath away as FS. Guess I'm just a crazy coin nut but I've been around the block a few times not saying this is the top pop 1950 D by any means but honestly I think it's worth submitting just to see if u can afford the fees lol you never know who is grading that day. I been noticing many inconsistencies in nickel grading. I use PCGS and they are amazing never tried NGC like I said this date I've seen imop slabbed coins with an fs grade that didn't look any better than this one. I got the coin for a trade I don't think I did to bad. Anyways thanks for your replies and the discussion much enjoyed.

I've looked at a lot of examples, and there's definitely some leeway for disturbances, but IMHO it's too large of a disturbance to be designated FS. If you do submit it, please share the results, Id love to see it graded FS!
