Please Help With Grading, I Know Nothing About Liberty Nickels

[James Mayer-migration]

I know that with the Shield's due to manufacturing limitations strike can be an issue, is this the same with Liberty Nickels?

I'm only just learning about the Liberty Nickels.

 

My limited, and beginners, opinion would be strike is an issue with these as well.

 

Liberty has a hit from the nape of her neck down to the base, which may affect the grade, along with some wear in the hairline and behind her eye.

 

It looks like a good strike; however, it is hard to tell for sure because the clearity of the photos is not that good for me to tell.

 

I won't guess at the grade, as I stated, I am just learning about these.

 

Most of my experience lies in proofs, and unc moderns from the 60's - present.

My guess is AU-50.

Obverse appears damaged with AU 50 details

 

The small hair curl obliterated along the same gash line on the neck

AU 55 but I am very distracted by that area of concentrated wear or discoloration above the eye and in the hair.
