I've always struggled with grading the 1922-1936 nickels. Sometimes the grading companies put a EF-MS grade on coins with what looks like a lot of wear and the forum seems to see them as about right, but not always.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Nice MS coin, but I'm not good with numbers above 50

I'll say MS-64, perhaps even 65. Beautiful example.

Looks at least 65 to me. Quite well struck. Like impressively so. A bit of rim damage on the obverse on this one as well, but I think not a problem for grading purposes. Left leaf on the reverse is not quite fully struck, but better than many.

Not sure but it's gorgeous. A challenge would be how to incorporate the (modest) rim damage into the score. Without that I would have said 65 as well.
