Boy if he wouldn't have cut himself shaving that chin. I think it would have been easily MS67, but it hurt it enough to become MS65 maybe 66 if it is the image and not as distracting otherwise.
This also appears to be a P over P mintmark. It looks like a DDO too but then I think that a lot of 1942 nickels are. Look at the TY in LIBERTY at the top.
In my book it doesn't get full steps because of a few ticks in the steps. 1942 nickels generally have excellent step count anyway. Very nice nickel there. AND I am not a good grader, I just pick out the nice ones, this one would be a definite keeper for me!
I looked at it again, and that nick just knocks it down. The better the coin the worse one little thing can hurt.
I have to give it MS64 now maybe MS65. Still, it's a dandy.
