Would you say' (ICG) gave the right-grade on this Jefferson?

I've always been wary' of buying ICG Jeffersons, due to the fact' that their grading isn't really
comparable to Pcgs , Ngc or Anacs IMO....

But, on this 1939-D Jefferson, I think, they came thru- on their grading,,,,I may kick myself, for saying this, but this just may qualify for an upgrade..:thumb:. Here's photo(s) to show you what I mean... have a nice day! chasindreams

I think that looks like a MS-66/7, but the photographs aren't really clear enough to grade it that accurately.

 

Almost impossible to say from the pics.

In general, I have no problem purchasing ICG coins, or any other company for that matter, if I have the coin in-hand to inspect.

As far as Jefferson nickels, I have found ICG to be comparable to PCGS and NGC. Since ICG is not as widely accepted in the marketplace, though, I often get these coins for more favorable prices. No argument here.

 

PCGS will not upgrade this beyond MS67 unless you are a blood relative of the owner. The chances at NGC are no better. Be very happy with the current grade. ICG can go in either direction compared to PCGS or NGC. This grading game can be a big crapshoot.

 

Thanks for the knowledge,,,an' sharing this to me,and others here! ,,,I wasn't aware of that! I guess, the ole' saying is actually true then' " Grade the coin, (Not), the Holder! I guess, thats why I've become addicted to this CT,,,,it or they' ,,,,,,give you help, when it's most wanted,,,,thanks'again! chasindreams/

 

hey' Vince! thanks for the Infor~ an' yes,,,,actually' both grading services are pretty-strict ,,, I'm just going to cross my fingers an' hope for the best!

 

hey' Borg~ thanks for your IMO ,,,,,an' yes, I'm taking your word for that! From now on, I'm paying more attention to the coin, not to much worry about the grading
service,,,,thanks for getting back to me... chasindreams/

 

hello' Jero~ yes,,,my camera isn't the best ,,,so I'm hoping I can find a really good
Coin Microscope someday! I'd like to get one, where I can shift in diff~ directions, zoom in when necessary,,,an' capture at that specific moment! ,,,if you have any suggestions,,,,I'm all Ears! thanks'again, for your reply,,,, chasindreams/

 

Looks accurate, But for higher resale would possibly suggest a PCGS holder
They seem to draw the bigger dollar when you go to sale
