MS-63

STRIKE: The strike will range from slightly below average to full.
"Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection", First Edition,
October 1997, pg. 26

Note the strike can be below average
according to PCGS. Bill

Then, from "The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels" Second Edition by David
W. Lange;

"Overall weakness is the norm for this issue, particularly in the bison's
head and around the coin's periphery. ..........Along with 1919-D,
1919-S, 1920-S, 1925-D and 1926-S, this is one of the most poorly struck
dates in the series." page 125

"1925-S nickels typically have just average to good luster. In combination
with their generally mushy appearance, the aesthetic value of this issue is
low, regardless of its certified grade." page 126
