Grade... That... JEFFERSON! 1945-S Wartime Nickel

What's the grade? It's NGC slabbed.

 

Images by Bob Campbell. He did an awesome job.

Care to elaborate? What makes it an "automatic" MS67?

Bob's images are fantastic. Unless there is a luster problem, the coin has good strike, good eye appeal, and I can't find a single major distracting mark on either the obverse or the reverse.

 

I posted a guess the grade 1945-P wartime nickel two days ago which was graded by NGC as an MS67. Look at the photo below. If mine is a 67 and yours is not, then NGC has real problems. For the record, I believe my coin to be overgraded, but your coin is a 67 all day long. If it is not, then it needs to be resubmitted IMO.

MS-65 No FS.

I understand No FS, because clearly the steps are mush, but I'm curious - why MS65?

Nice clean coin with apparent mint luster. Obverse die state abviously better than reverse. (thumbs u

That would suggest a grade higher than MS65, would it not?
