Help with my V Nickel

[Old Pueblo]

I have plenty to do in the photo department cause this coin looks "cleaner" in hand

Should I have this one graded?

 

Thanks

Is that a proof? It looks clear and mirrored enough, but with the pictures, you can't tell the color vs glare. MS details

I was thinking the same... proof that is. Looks like there's some sort of lacquer on the obverse especially. I believe this was a common practice on early proofs which again leads me to believe this is a proof. Unfortunately I see a lot of hairlines. Even if the lacquer or whatever the substance is were to be removed, I believe it would at best grade a 63. Unfortunately the prices aren't that great unless they are gem, even though they have very low mintages.

It looks like a proof, but either way, I would definitely not spend the money to get it certified.
