My first find from some roll searching that I felt worthy of a first try at posting some pics, and maybe get an idea of grade.

'cents' is only blurry in the picture (shot through mag glass)



.. and an attempt to show the luster but it still doesn't do it justice. In hand it outshines all nickels I've found thus far except a proof but it's close :)

Beautiful coin! I'd go MS65. I see one or two small nicks. I'm not sure about Full Steps because the bottom is in shadow, but it looks close.

Very nice. MS65 is my estimate too. Not FS in my opinion. The bottom step doesn't appear (or is in shadows as mentioned by Awesome Wally), but also a vertical dent/nick by the second pillar from the right ruins the FS. Too bad. Very nice coin, though - definitely a keeper!
Rest in Peace

Won't go 65 because Tom nicked himself shaving.

with that ... my grade opinion is MS64 due mainly to the significant bag hit on Jefferson jaw ... a visual focal point for sure. Fields look great and this is for sure a lovely roll found coin.
