 to the CCF! While I cant say what the grade is. It does look like a beauty though. I will say it helps to flip your photo to orient coin so we don't have to look at it sideways. Also to save space on server it helps to crop to just the coin.  |

It's got some luster but not a good strike (over 271 Million minted, I'm sure them dies were over worked)
I'd go no higher than MS63

Would grade MS62/63'ish and is worth about 5$ in my opinion.

I suspect that on a proportional basis, Wartime nickels are much more commonly found in dealers' scratch boxes in MS grades in Australia, than in the 'States. Dealers' prices are higher at AU grade for these in Australia, however.
That is my experience anyway; I rarely see them in less than EF. Most commonly found grade would be around AU55, with some luster, and usually with a nice white color.
This one a BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) as well, = MS62 or 3.
Some knocks on Jeff's jawbone hold it back a tad. NIcely struck.

 with the determinations. It appears to be well-struck and lower-MS with no major distracting marks. I'm not sure of the color because it may just be the pics. If it is yellow-toned, that would be completely normal, though.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

First, not Full Steps.
And I agree it's a weak strike (main door is missing details).
As for grade IMO it depends on whether the "chatter" on the cheek is bagginess or poor handling.
MS-63 at best and probably a bit lower.
