Canada 5 cent Nickels- are they worth grading? Any comments?

Have a few (Dark Side) Nickel questions
Recently I received these nickels and have a few questions about them.
Hopefully you guys have all the answers and maybe some advise.
I have numbered the coins so we know what we are up against and can attribute your comments.
I intend to sell all these Nickels very soon as they do not fit in.
For all coins, the key question is this:
Is it worth to have them graded at ICCS? ( Canadian TPG)

Coin B: are these Die clashes around some of the letters and other areas on the reverse?

Coins D+E: what looks like perhaps an old cleaning is definitely NO so. What are these marks which are only visible in the Photo (macro lens) and not when using a lupe?

Coin F: what are these marks on the reverse that look like stray marks between 8 and 3? there are also slight indications on the obv.

coin G: is the rim damage at 11 PMD or not?

thank you everyone for extending your knowledge..

  • The fine lines on C and E are probably raised and therefore is from die polishing. The larger mark may be a struck-thru?

    Successful BST deals with mustangt and jesbroken. Now EVERYTHING is for sale.

  • There definitely is a market for MS Canadian nickels.
    I'd send the to ICCS for ease of resale.

  • Nice setup! I have a ten year old pocket camera and a home made support made of salvaged wood from a deck.......

    Is the piece of glass to get rid of glare?
