MS 66+ & 5FS ....I think it is clean and lustrous enough to be a high end 66 (thus the plus) but not quite a 67....given the previous few, the full steps might have been left off again but I think it deserves it

 

67

I think it misses FS but hope it gets as it would 15-20x the price.

 

MS65. I see a "hit" on the steps, right side up top to all the way down. Very small hit.

 

I am pretty sure the guy who graded these coins could fall down a flight of steps, and then say "what steps?"

 

MS66

 

I went 66 no full steps, that mark may be light but it is distracting.

 

Reveal tomorrow, get your guesses in.

 

REVEAL: 1943-S Jefferson Nickel NGC MS66

A bunch of you got this one right, including @No_Ragrets & @The Half Dime

 

I guess that means I can actually grade these nickels!

LOL, jokes aside it is a very beautiful coin. These GTGs also help people practice their grading, which is good especially for dealers.

 

You are right about those NGC folks not knowing what steps are...
