Please guess the grade of the 1968-S Jefferson Nickel shown below. I have attached a poll for you to cast your vote and you may select up to 3 different things: the numerical grade, 5FS or Not FS, and + grade. Please don't forget to vote in the poll, and as always, comments welcome.
I think that the luster takes this one to atleast gem. Not clear enough to really agree with FS I think they graded it MS66, no FS.
MS 66 not FS....looks fairly clean besides a few hits...the fused steps under the third column prevent the full steps in my opinion
I'm thinking a details grade. The hits look deep enough to be considered minor scratches, but if not details, then MS-64.
No higher than 66 with those cuts. Even money shot they gave it 65. Just misses full steps, though steps there are strong.
I would like to get @kSigSteve to respond before the reveal. I can say that nobody has gotten it right so far.
I think it’s MS65, no FS. It has a few dings that I think restricts it to a 65. I think the steps are 5-5-3-5 so it misses the FS.
