Please guess the grade of the 1978 Jefferson Nickel shown below. I have attached a poll for you to cast your vote and you may select up to 4 different things: the numerical grade, 5FS or Not FS, the + designation, and the * designation. As always, comments welcome, and please remember to vote in the poll.
MS 66 5FS ...the area under the first column appears to be questionable (break in the steps) but I believe something like that generally is acceptable and will get the FS....as far as the grade, it has clean fields and appears to have solid luster-enough for a 66 grade
Unless they changed the rule, it has to be MS to get the FS designation. If it is MS there is A LOT of chatter on the cheek, and 2 gouges on the obv rim at 11 o'clock. MS 62 or 63. The reverse is a little cleaner but there are still 4 very discernible nicks on Monticello. I like the steps and the slight break on the left side doesn't bother me. 5FS.
