Don't know if spot hurts grade.
Better details in hair vs other coin. Hit on cheek. Much cleaner reverse.
MS65 FS with a shot at 66...

66FS
Collector, occasional seller
Carbon spots are very common on nickels, ive had then show up on aa nice 36 buffalo after grading. And I do agree thzt spot is a killer for me . 65 and no FS the hit on the left goes thru the steps ,imho if given an fs that was just that a gift.
As a nickel collector I would advise the YN to be more selective on dates that are plentiful and has no hits or spots.
I would prefer a raw 65 fs coin over a graded coin with eye appeal issues.

Oh, I found your thread. Lol
Looks great, dude.
My guess;
MS 67 FS.

I have about 15 of these (1971-D) FS Jefferson nickels. These came well struck with FS for the most part. I do not know if it is worth grading this date even though FS. I think you may need at least a 68 to make out. A DD is another story. I did not know one existed. Now I have to find them and check them for DD's.
MS66FS
machine or mechanical or ejection doubling

MS66, no FS.... machine doubling, not DD.... Cheers, RickO
64fs
I think the spot killed the grade in this case. I'd have been at 65FS without it. The group of coins you have is decent, but I wouldn't have invested money in grading them. If you're looking at this as a learning experience, that's fine.
Edit: not a DDO on the 71-D.

Wouldn't this have to grade MS67 to be worth encapsulation?
I paid the tuition already so now you won’t have to. Make sure you use it for comparison before you pay
