GTG 1944-D Jefferson Nickel NGC

Please guess the grade of the 1944-D 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, Full Steps, + grade, and * designation.




The streak across the steps above the "T" in MONTICELLO is on the slab. As always, comments welcome!

MS-66, no FS, no star.

Although, from what I recall of War Nickels, those steps are above average.

 

I'm at a 65. Those steps are really nice looking but I don't see them as a FS.

 

I’m at 66* no FS. I suspect the colors in hard are really nice.

 

It looks like it has some real nice luster I am at MS66 as for the steps I can't quite tell if that mark is bridging the steps under the third pillar or not. I am gonna guess that it got the FS designation.

 

MS-66 here

 

66 with a star. Misses full steps.

 

65 FS

 

“Just” a MS66

 

I'll say MS67

 

MS 66+ not FS Should be * for color, but did not get it.

 

MS 66 close to 5fs, but I think it just misses it.
The luster look strong...nothing about the color suggests a star to me ...nice coin overall

 

As you know, Paul, I love your coins. I sure own plenty of them already. This one looks very close to 67, if not already there. I would go star for color. Since you use NGC, no full steps, as they are tough on that designation.

 

I do use NGC, but I also buy coins that are already graded which includes PCGS. And yes, NGC is tougher on full steps.

 

Looks like I was in the middle of the pack with 66, no full steps and I risked a star for PL obverse, which was probably a bad bet.

 

Any other guesses? Will reveal later tonight.

 

66+ 5FS

 

Good as the suspense is killing me. Lol

 

I really think this coin is 5FS and will be sending it in for designation review.

 

Thought it was 67, but was conservative. Beautiful coin.
