dropping all that, the strike looks decent, marks and all aside 64/65 no FS
like i said, FS on that slab send it back, tired of them putting stuff like that out on the streets

Ditto.

Sell me a nicer one?
and 65, no steps.
The mark on the reverse is in the coin, it's copper, improper alloy mix.
Grade posted in first post..thank you all for your opinions.
while i don't necessarily agree with the grade it is a very nice looking coin for the date. with all due respect, Baley, i would suggest you contain your commentary to the era of Numismatics which you are adept at understanding. i feel confident in saying that those of us who collect coins from the 1960's, and especially Jefferson Nickels, will attest to the difficulty in finding this date in a reasonable state of preservation, the huge number struck notwithstanding. finding a coin with more than a wheelchair ramp for steps can be a challenge, finding a coin with a strong jawline and ear detail can be a challenge, finding a coin with minimal post-strike contacts can be a challenge.
finding a coin with all three of those subtle nuances isn't a task for the faint of heart or a limit on their time. absent the pock marks on the cheek and the apparent planchet flaw in the step area i'd agree with the assigned grade. as is the coin would still be a welcome to many collections.
<< <i>no FS and if it says so NGC robbed ya-i was gonna ask if that brown slash was on the coin but i see its inside the slab

Considering that NGC has only graded 3.3% of their 1964's with FS compared to 16.3% for PCGS, I think it is much more likely that the coin is indeed full steps and that the photo is playing tricks on us. It would be the second time in the last few days that it has happened.

That is exactly right!
Hoard the keys.
