I like it more than the other two guys I put up a while ago. Whatcha think? (I believe shooting pix through the cardboard holder dulls this puppy's luster a little.) Lotta blood sweat and tears to get these coins.

Very nice strike. MS65

I agree, Shamika...........but I think enough luster might get that one a 66.

Awesome looking nickel send it to me and let me free it from the flip it is in and I can get some really nice pictures of it for you.

Best of the night. Drilled strike and good original look.

A higher grade and a strike much more typical for the date. The 1916 usually comes with a strong strike-the other two were below average in this regard.

Solidly struck, a few flyspecks/spots and you have that area at the right hind leg knee area that's a blemish or something (doesn't look like toning) which may or may not be ok. Looks like some contact marks in the hair as well.

I say ms/64 with a killer strike.

Nice coin.

Here's another 1916 for comparison:

Don't want to hijack your thread, but thought it would be interesting to compare different coins of the date.

Nice strike.

BigD, a little flatness on the point of the hip, and a luster break on the thigh...one of those coins that are either AU58 or MS64 maybe?
