I know almost nothing about shield nickels, but that looks nice to me. I guessed 64.

By the way, are those major die cracks on the obverse?

Yep....And reverse as well. It's a fun coin.

I'm a copper guy but I'll take a shot, -- 64.

A nice coin it has some very minor ticks so I called MS-64...

Dang....I was hoping for the $million!

But before it disappears from the front page, here's the PCGS opinion.

I've sometimes wondered if it might warrant a higher grade, but I can't say I'm an expert on the series.
