GTG 49 D Jeff

Yeah, I couldn't pass this one up, really didn't care about the steps, the smooth yet blazing luster on this coin makes the tones pop.


What did NNC grade it?

MS 65

 

Forgot, please leave your grade also.

 

I think it is MS64 but it is a neat looking nickel. I think it got a generous MS65 if you meant NGC.
NNC (rings a bell ?) probably gave it MS66 or better.

 

That is for the slab and my grade is a 64...seems a little too mushy to be gem

 

MS-64

 

MS 64. Very nice but not a full step. Too bad because I would have graded higher.

 

MS64

 

63

 

NNC, MS-65

Personal Opinion, MS-64+

 

I believe it is a MS64, but NNC likely gave it a 65 to 66.

 

The 49-D is often found with nice toning and great luster, but the strike and surfaces are usually lacking. This coin has a decent strike except the steps and looks very clean. The luster doesn't show that much in your photos but if you say it is strong, I would grade the coin MS65.

The formula for NNC is to take the actual grade and add 3, with a max grade of MS68, so I say NNC graded the coin MS68.

 

65

 

I will try to get a pic before work.
any last minute guess's?

 

I’m at 64+ myself. I think great appeal though and would snag that myself. I appreciate @Lehigh96 input regarding the strike details. Good to know for the year.

Enjoy the coin.

 

The 49D is an interesting subject on the Jeff
series, I think that this one rides around a 65. I stand by the luster.
