Good evening all I was just wondering if this is just a common shiny nickel. The pictures do no justice but here are a few as it is very shiny and stands out above all my other coins other than my proofs. I thank you ahead of time for your opinions...

yes. Might be unc, but a horrible mushy strike with worn out dies.

I'm not sure if there is a question in your post - my opinion is the same as above ... the coin if MS was struck on very late state dies and has lost a lot of detail due to the die wear.

This is very evident on the reverse Monticello which, if that were circulation wear, would be in the XF45 range.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

By 1970 wear of the Jefferson master hub imparted a slight curve to the fields, making them look quite reflective as you move the coin. For 1971 a new master was created, and the fields became flat again. Your coin is a nice find if made from circulation recently, but many 1970-Ds survive in collections in that condition.
