It would be helpful if you posted larger images of the full coin.

Agree with the Frog that the magnified images add no value at all.

From what I can see XF40/45

Nice semi-key date score for $28
Take a look at my other hobby ... https://www.jk-dk.art
Too many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time.

There's just not enough there for AU - XF 45 to me also. For $28 you did good. Reverse has obvious scratches and your closeups almost make it look like an old cleaning - I'd take the 45 straight grade and run!

Easy XF-40 maybe 45 pending on shoulder detail.

Why is it with some posted photos you can "click on to expand" and others you can't?

Shots fight each other between Pixlar and Google. Rest assured their pin tip clear until ran through pixlar's thunder run. No excuses here its on my end can't figure it out.

Pacific your tough on this nickel, Ive looked at some AU-50 pcgs examples scuffed up and with less horn and less rim gap from tail to rim. Liberty looks strong flatness on 3 and head appear morr strike issue thsn wear? Technically shouldnt coin be AU?

I went back to Buffalo nickel school and I stand corrected, coin lacks the AU sharpness and overall punch expected with AU. Good eyes everyone thank you for opionions.

Over the last year , with CAC now GRADING
all of the grading services have really tightened up .
This nickel is a nice coin upon cursory
examination. However the rump and tail
both show wear . The horn does not look
sharp at the tip and also shows light wear.
The Native American shows a touch too
much wear below the hair part , the date
starting to flatten .
There are what appears to be light patchy
hairlines . A possible light old cleaning .
Thus VF35 .
