What a beauty! Is that a scratch by the L? For a 100 year old still great.

It is a scratch, between the "L" and "I" of LIBERTY. This may be a factor in the "knock-down" a grade.

What sold me was the "golden" rings on both sides, probably from album toning.

Great example of very atractive toning IMO.
I think AU 53 on this one

I think you have a very nice coin! Not sure if it has wear or not, AU-58?

Super nice coin, the sunset rims are sweet! The fact that all the stars are fully struck up and divided makes me think this was assigned an MS64 grade.

I'd guess it was AU53 maybe AU55 but a beautiful coin as I see it.

Wow! It's uncirculated? I thought for sure there was light wear on Liberty's hair. The reverse appears ever so lightly worn on the high points too. Maybe it is the picture and it looks better in hand. Not to knock it at all. I think it is a super nickel. Who wouldn't want one like it!

Nice coin ... I agree with others that I think I see light wear on the obverse in the hair ... seeing as the 13 stars are fully hammered I am not seeing strike issues.

Raw in hand I might have settled on AU55.

However ... PCGS MS62 is the grade.

Thanks for sharing.
