1961 nickel FS?

Hi everyone. New guy here. I'm not a collector but a death in the family left me with a collection. I'm piecing it out on Ebay and think I might have a valuable coin on my hands. I put a few pictures of it here:

Would appreciate input and a guess at the grade of this coin.

Thanks in advance
Regards,

    I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but your coin appears circulated and definitely does not have full steps. I'd say it's worth a nickel. I'm sorry if I dashed your hopes. image

    By the way... welcome to the forum! Stick around awhile.

    Unfortunately, your nickel is not a full step nickel, as far as I can see. I would guess the coin grades a low uncirculated.

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    Oh well I guess I won't get rich on that one ;-)
    What exactly would full steps look like? Curious minds and all that.
