i find it strange my 1950-d seems very well worn but still has most of the 5 steps. Why is this? Pretty cool toning too!      I dont know how well you can see those steps. Most of the 5 are there. |

I think it just has a weak strike. If it is it's probably MS (MS-62 or 63). I'm not the best with grading weak strikes though.

It looks like a late die state. Possible Grease Filled Die on reverse. That toning looks off to me. It is pretty, but I kind of think it is environmental damage. The gold looks natural, but the purple and blue seems odd. Edited by brenpickle

Looks like a slight Greaser. I don't know. Wait for more opinions. But trust me when I say this, that is a beautiful coin!! |

This is The holder it was in when I bought it. I dont know if that would make a difference with the toning   |

Man, that die pair was worn out. John1 nailed it with VLDS.

A good thing that I nailed it  not that it's a VLDS. The holder is a basement slabber,the coin is far from a 65 and not FS. Your coin has two things going for it,it's a 1950-D and has interesting eye appeal. It also has two things against it,a basement slab and a VLDS...IMHO. John1 |

VLDS can be a very good thing when talking about Morgan dollars but not so much when a Jefferson nickel. If this example showed strong artifacts of a clash event it would add to the appeal, but without it's just a worn out die pair. A cool example nonetheless. |
