GTG 58D Jefferson

I was going to do a technical grade VS Market grade on this one.
But I waited too long.
GTG of the nickel below, if you want to guess the slab we'l give you an extra point if you get it right.

64 5FS?ngc no line fatty or an ANACS soap box.

 

I gave this a MS-62 Only because of the Obverse. The only thing there is the area above the "WE". I think the reverse is a AU-58 and I don't do with steps that's why I have cane.

 

64

 

It's pretty hard too miss the detail of those steps. lol

 

I put MS63* 5FS.

 

I’m at a MS-62. I was going higher than I saw the obverse rim bruise and the reverse.

 

I thought similarly. Obverse certainly is stunning.

 

Y'all guessing 62 are being really harsh on this coin!

In today's grading, this would probably be a 65 5FS.

As someone else mentioned, this appears to be an older slab, so I'm guessing it says 64 5FS (which is the grade I like best for it).

 

The rim is hidden by the insert. It took a couple of looks to find it in hand.
Honestly it is hard to tell (in slab) what it is a rim bruise or damage,
Either way it jumps out at you in the images. In hand not so much.

 

Just a tiny nick on the collar and a little bigger one on the cheek but that rim bruise did me in. That’s why I said a 62.

 

@Collecting Nut the line over the memorial is concentric ring. It is raised like a die crack. If you look closely to the other side of the memorial same area, you will find a partial image. This ring is also found on a few coin that have been auctioned recently. MS66 and above.

 

For some reason it stood out to me. Hopefully you got a decent grade.

 

I just saw the small cuts, scrapes and nicks.

 

An thoughts on the slab?

 

It's a handsome coin but it's been in a little bit of a scuffle. MS63FS. The eye-movement through it is still very good.

 

MS 64 5FS on the holder and I could see it being a 65 now (close to 6 steps but there is a small break in the sixth step).

 

65-5FS
The steps look great and so close. Id say from the pic 6-6-5-6

 

MS64 and 5FS for me

 

MS 65 6FS
