I have this 1980 D nickel, trying to figure out how it would grade?

Thanks for your input!

I have to say AU-58, not FS. The obverse is very slightly MAD.

Yes, I see the minor MAD. I re-found it in my error coins. I knew this wasn't FS. But was curious since I know the steps are an issue in the 80's.

Thanks Spruette... this is new territory for me!

Plus the lighting on the close up is too contrasting...

Still learning to work with my camera and lighting

Your pics are pretty good, overall. With the steps on these, it may be best to have a light source coming from the south to illuminate that common weak point on Monticello's steps at the bottom.

Coin photography is not easy!

Yes... I was thinking that! Thanks for the TIP

Nope...Not easy at all... photos and lighting are a learning curve of their own ;)
