Can't see enough detail in these pics to make a call.
Rest in Peace

Tone could be original, but these photos make it impossible to be sure.

It looks to be lighting and I'd give it an EF-45.

The picture is not so hot, so it's hard to say anything definitive.

From what I can see, the sharpness looks like an EF coin. There does not appear to be any luster, and if fact the surfaces look to be dark and granular, which not unusual for a Liberty or Shield nickel. If that is the case, this is a damaged coin, and there is huge discount in the price as a result.

If you are thinking about buying this, I'd pass unless you have an iron-clad return guarantee.

Some nickels get dark. I've seen many buffalo and Liberty nickels do that. I have a few EF Liberty nickels with this dark appearance.

This coin will be EF45 details but if it is really that dark, the coin cannot have AU grade even if the details are AU++.
