Bought this coin in an PCGS Unc holder from ebay. 1941 5 cents due to its nickel content and size mean it is extremely difficult to be well struck. This piece when compared to similar pieces on PCGS website clearly shows the difference in sharpness of detail (https://www.pcgs.com/valueview/5c-1...1111&h=pop). The coin has a great luster and reflective surface. I am not sure if this coin is a specimen striking, but certainly is finer than normal circulation pieces. Struck from a fresh die with needle sharp impression.
First of all - nice coin! I am no expert but the few I have like this one (earlier date) have a high rounded rim that appear to help keep the coin looking good because the rim gets beat first. Yours has a nice flatter rim showing no wear. The ones on the link appear to have a rounded rim. Just an observation.
