Please grade these coins. (I want to see if i am getting any better)

Okay, this is the 1943 steel cent i will be using for my small cent type set (for now anyways).
I am guessing MS-63:







Another one for the type set...This one because I needed one that is zinc, it is my birthyear also...
very nice coins...I am guessing a MS-67 RD:







This is the 1950-D Jefferson I traded for.
I am thinking MS-62 with FS on this one:






plmk what you guys think,

I'm not sure on the Lincolns, but that Jeff looks AU to me.

 

#1, hard to tell, but I'll say MS-65.
#2, also tough to tell, but gut for some reason is saying MS-66, possibly a 67.
#3, if not AU, then I'll say MS-64 ?Full Steps?.

Nice coins! :thumb:

It could be, but the guy I got it off of said it was BU, There is such a fine line between AU-55 to MS-63 that it is very hard to tell, especially with cents

 

Either Jeff is circulated, it's a very weak strike, or a very worn die. It's missing a lot of detail.

 

i red in the ANA grading guide that the 1950 are weak strikes a lot of the time....it looks as if it has FS si IDK...I guess I will know more when I get the coin in hand

That 1950-D Jefferson is a weakly-struck, late die state (LDS) coin. It very well could be uncirculated, but I cannot tell from the picture.

It is not unusual to see fully developed steps on 1950-D nickels, even if they are poorly struck elsewhere. I would count the steps on this piece 5-5-5-5, but there are a couple of nicks that would prevent some people from calling it full steps.

 

Yeah I think it is just weak struck...so if the steps have any marks on them at all they are no longer FS?

seriously, I am not fond of Jefferson nickels, I think they are ugly. But those Lincoln cents are looking nice!
nice grabs
