I can't really tell which are on the coin and which are on the holder, but my initial thought was a fairly nice AU-58. I've seen my fair share of coins like yours in MS-63 or MS-64 holders but will stick to my high AU guess.
Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!
Sure would like to have this one in hand to do it proper... but it appears to be 65+... I see only 1-2 hits on either side, surface appears natural, and toning? Not sure about that, but I'm speaking for my skills here, not my doubts...
I like it.

Jeff, I don't like the picture much (hard to read), but the coin looks solid ... and nice!
I would say it's either in a 58 holder (appears to have slight rub), or if Unc, is probably a 63.
Again, the picture probably does this coin no justice ... but it's enough to tell it's a pretty nice Nickel. 1910 is a good year too for the late dates.

Only missing one fully struck star...some wear on the hair or just not fully struck...it is hard to tell without it being in hand but from the pics it looks like there is a little wear on the hair so I am going to guess AU. The reverse looks great besides the scratch on the V. AU58?

Hint: It's not proof.
A real nice AU-58

<< <i>58. Looks like rub in the hair, not a weak strike. Of course, there are lots of 58's in 62 holders these days. >>
I thought possibly the same, also.
Would there be telltale rub elsewhere, too?

What is that label on the back on the slab?
My quess is it is the seller's inventory sticker. I'd remove it before it can damage the hologram.
