Can't really see the I's well in your pics but it sure looks like Liz has something over her shoulder.By definition a No Shoulder Fold should have a seemingly bare shoulder.
Near

Check the "I" in "DEI".
If the "I" is flared at the ends its a NSF
No flares on the "I" indicates a shoulder fold.

A serious question
If one can see a shoulder fold how can it not be there?

I am using the wrong terms I guess...I was thinking NSF meant Near Shoulder Fold...

I guess it means No Shoulder Fold.

So I just have a Near Leaf with Shoulder Fold...it is weird because one "I" looks flared and one looks straight.

This may help.

1953 Nickel:

Look at "I" of DEI on the obverse and you the diagram below to make your determination on which it is.
1953-Nickle--Near?-Or-Far?--I-Think-Its-A-1953nsf

And then use the following pictures to help you determine if it is a near or far leaf.

Far Leaf:
1953-Nickle--Near?-Or-Far?--I-Think-Its-A-1953nsf

Near Leaf:

I checked the Obverse side and it definitely is the "No Flare" "I"...

So I have a common Near SF...
