The "FS" designation indicates a Full Steps variety, a significant attribute for serious nickel collectors seeking the finest details of Monticello's iconic architectural rendering on the reverse. The coin has been graded MS-67 by NGC (Certification #4677358005), placing it well above average circulated examples and into the choice uncirculated category. At this grade level, the piece displays excellent luster and strike quality with only minimal contact marks consistent with the grade.
