Unfortunately I think it's Unc details because of the cleaning hairlines. Sometimes die polish lines can look like that in War Nickels, but the lines don't go between the letters, so it's likely harshly cleaned.

Girlinlove-Ya, it's a real bummer when you get excited about a really good looking coin only to find out that somebody just had to go and clean it at some point, I have a Morgan silver dollar that I'm pretty sure somebody tried to polish with a buffing wheel, which is just. unfortunately, Zurie is correct about the cleaning marks. I took your images and ran them through a program that quadruples the resolution and zoomed it in And I'm 99% sure they're not die polish lineso|. Had that not been the case, my guess on the grade I suppose I would go MS65.

My first thought at seeing these excellent photos was 'bummer cleaned'.

Yep - I agree with that first thought.
