spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/23/2017 5:46 pm The color looks like the typical yellow toning that nickels can develop. It may be bad pics but, it also looks like a really weak strike. It's not a very good MS65 example if it even is actually MS65.

BadDog Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 11/23/2017 6:06 pm with spruet001. It looks like a toned coin and the lighting and angles of the pictures don't do it any favors. There are better 65's out there. Report this Post to the Staff
Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 11/23/2017 6:09 pm A 54-s with full steps is thousands in grade 65 - but this is more like NO steps - grading fees are more than that nickel is worth! Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 11/23/2017 8:07 pm It may be a technical MS65 but the eye appeal is AU50 and not worth the opening bid (to me). Edited by dave700x 11/23/2017 8:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 11/24/2017 9:58 pm Color is a little strange but the grade is preposterous . It looks worn but if it's just a profound LDS then in my opinion it should have never been slabbed with a MS-65 designation . Report this Post to the Staff
