My latest aquisition off Teletrade is a 1974-P MS62FS Jefferson Nickel. I was rather looking forward to this coin as the best 74-P I have is a 5-5-4-5. Well all I can say is I'm once again a tad confused..

This coin under my 16X loupe

shows (5)
nice full steps.. np.
(5)
ok steps, a couple ticks at the bottom.. but still (5)
(4)
definately 4.. under no stretch of the imagination or my wishful thinking is there 5 steps here.
I'd almost.. almost say there could be a bridge here, but I'll just say 4..
(5)
again ok steps.. a tick or two, but still 5...

Now 5-5-4-5 is still the same 5-5-4-5 I had already. FS (shrug)???

I have five PCGS full steps with nicks.
One even has a step I can't see with a 16X loop.
I don't buy PCGS FS nickels anymore.

Well you, like me have never purchased a FS nickel from PCGS only a nickel labeled FS by PCGS?
On second thought I take that back I have purchased FS nickels from PCGS they just aren't called FS on the label. Either way I believe PCGS is the worst of the TPG's for the Jefferson series IMHO.

ANACS!!!!!
