    Really good photos, but I see nothing out of the ordinary. Nice gem, though. More than 5 steps???

    How did that get a 66? Those gouges on the reverse are terrible.

    Oh, it's a beautiful coin, all right, but you should look again...

    I do see what looks like die striations on the obverse.

    The marks on the reverse are 75% harder to see in hand - must have been the angle of the light when photographed. Still haven't seen the biggest problem with this coin/holder...

    On the label they left the D for Denver MintMark off? Oh man you guys beat me by seconds!

    For a $950.00 Nickel would the error label increase the value?

    The 1978 P is $950 in this grade...the D is $300. I wouldn't assume anyone would pay extra for a faulty label. NGC calls this a "mechanical error" and will fix it for free, but it's just a PITA for me.

    OK but they gave the value to your coin on the NGC verify $950.00! But I understand. Crazy! :punch:

    With that price difference, I'd rather have them remove the mint mark and leave the label alone.
