Definitely a 66+, plus looks to be full horn to boot. Pretty coin....almost has a wood grain effect.

Looks like a MS66 to me..... They made some well struck nickels in '36 and '38. Cheers, RickO

I would say 66, but will not be shocked to find out that PCGS said much higher.

MS-66, that's a great coin.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! 67 it is.

I confess that I was at 66 on this one. I even sent it in economy (I was upcharged and happily paid). For some reason, I have been both inaccurate and imprecise in my grading lately, meaning I am missing the reported grade more often, and in both directions, sometimes too high, sometimes too low. Now, a single point isn't a big deal, and anyone can miss by a little. But I used to be more consistent, and if I was off, I was able to adjust since I was usually off in one direction, so it was correctible. I'm trying to figure out if it's me or "them" and since I don't own a grading company, I'm concerned that it is me.

Something that I have been noticing is that with both services the color bumps have been very real (I don't want to say necessarily high or crazy). It's very difficult for you to be able to judge what bump you're going to get as it varies based on the grader, so in this case, I'd say it is both you and them .

I’m late to the party. I would have said 66+-67. A VERY beautiful piece my coin brother 👌

I like to look for ticks and nicks first, remind myself to look again at rims then strike and finally overall "pop". That one checks all the boxes and the color gave it a little boost. I'm getting better but I still miss the occasional cleaning.
I always want to believe those lines are die polish because they stop at the field's edge.
Hmmmm.

I'm late to the thread, but think the coin is absolutely gorgeous.
