If it has no wear there's no reason why it shouldn't be better than MS-62, looks to have very few marks.

You mean there are supposed to be details? I thought Liberty nickels were like the bucking bronco on the back of the Montana quarter - a silhouette. None of mine have any detail. That is an absolutely beautiful nickel.

As hard as the grading companies are now it would probably grade MS-60.

Looks mint state, with some hairline scratches near the date and a few tiny dark spots (carbon spots?) that should limit the grade. I agree with MS-62.
Back when I first started semi-serious collecting I was surprised that this coin was so cheap. I presume that the racketeer-nickel inspired design change caused many MS coins to be placed in long-term storage. When finally released they were snapped up as collectibles, resulting in a large population of high-grade examples. Does anyone have an informed report about this situation that they can share?
