I'll start out! First, a very sweet key coin!  I'm going with F-12. The streaks on the obverse, IMO, are from an improperly mixed alloy. It adds character!  |

I would guess initially F-15 as well.
What is going on with the date and the identical below the 5? Is this an RPD or is it a break?

To me it is a very nice VG-10 LIBERTY is unusually strong but not complete, I won't call it a Fine without a full LIBERTY. Even if the I was visible I could only go with F-12 because there isn't enough hair detail to justify a higher grade than that.
As for what PCGS calls it, who knows and who cares. What matters to me is what I think it is, not what they think it is.

"I" must be there for F12.
Me, VG10
PCGS, F12
I also moved this to grading.

Disagree somewhat with the 2 recent pro's views ... whose opinions I greatly respect. I'm going F12 (barely) on this key date. The "I" in the obverse legend LIBERTY is always the first to show wear ... and from what I can is barely there on this coin ... that's F12 territory. The rims and dentils are full and complete ... and the reverse motto E PLUBRIBUS UNUM is fully visible without significant weakness. Also F12 territory. Whatever the wizards at PCGS said is always a guess .... but I'm in at F12. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

my opinion its a vg-10, being a key date I am going to guess they were liberal with it and graded it F-15.

I think it's a strong F12 because of the hair detail and eye appeal

I'll also say that it got F12.

A close-up of the date:  "The streaks on the obverse, IMO, are from an improperly mixed alloy. It adds character!" These nickels are prone to that apparently. |

I wouldn't go more than F12. PCGS? F15.
