1932 canadian nickel grading help.

Thinking about sending George to our host.
Opinions on what it may grade would be appreciated.
Sorry my pic doesn't capture the bright surfaces, still learning.
Also will the rim nick on the rev. at about ten o'clock keep it from
grading.

    very nice coin.
    Have no real experiences with US tpg's. Canadian TPGs would grade the coin.
    There seems to be some confusion about the Near rim and the Far, as listed in Canadian Coin News, and perhaps adapted by TpG,s.
    the Variety NEAR and FAR indicate the distance of the S in Cents to the rim. Every Charlton book has it that way.
    However, the 1932 5 cent Near and Far as listed in Canadian Coin News -Trends, has a bit of a different meaning. I know it can be confusing.

    The old designation of near and far is still maintained, BUT here it has the same meaning as in the 1926 near 6 and far 6.
    with the 1932 it means the far 2 from the leaf.
    Your coin is the near, and hence not the scarce coin.
    The price difference between Near rim and Far 2 for a VF20 coin is about $ 6 for near rim to $ 600 for the far 2
    hopefully this picture does explain it.
