I want to mention that this coin is very sharply struck and SLIGHTLY reflective. I am not sure if it is a great MS coin, or an SMS coin that has been circulated a little bit. If there is a way to tell from the coin design, I would appreciate the information.

This coin is doubled/notched on the reverse on multiple words. I believe God may have Blessed me with a new variety because I cannot find a match on the usual websites. The notching is minor, except for FIVE and CENTS. There is a large spread on the F and I. The N in CENTS has an even larger spread with clearly two left legs of the N present. I pointed out those two legs with a green and light green arrow. I welcome your feedback.

Looks OK to me. I don't see any shelving effect which is good.

Nice find

As far as SMS, very hard to tell without full coin shots. As far as doubled die, looks promising. I see some nice notching and seperation, so long as it is not glare that is deceiving me. I do not know a lot about nickels.

Yes, the glare is making it a little tough to see - but looks promising. It's hard to get shots on proof or sms coins (for my setup) because of the reflective surface. Good luck MS!

Thanks all! Yea the LED light is very glare intense. But those are notches. I will take full coin pictures tomorrow to see if that helps.

Your photos are a bit out of focus, but it does appear to be SMS.
