I would greatly appreciate all opinions, thank you and may God bless each and every one of you! Report this Post to the Staff

It appears the nickel is the victim of post-strike circulation damage--particularly on the obverse. Imagine the coin being slid on an abrasive surface--the highpoints taking much of the damage. Others will be along to comment. Report this Post to the Staff
