Picked this one up fer rather cheap Yesterday. She is rather soft struck, but its a semi key that I didn't have. Take a peak!
That's a pretty late die state, but still in an excellent state of preservation. I think this series is very unappreciated. Nice pick-up.
Huge caches of this date were saved, and as a result are readily available in mint state. I'd wager finding a circulated one is harder. That's a pretty example, with nice luster typical of LDS examples. All IMHO...Mike
You would wager correctly, sir. I've been trying to assemble a circulated roll set of Jeffersons for a couple of years now. I would say I've attended 50 coin shows over the past 3 years, and I'm just now getting close to having a single roll of circulated 1950-D coins. I maybe could have done it sooner, but I refuse to pay more than $8 a coin because I can get uncs for $10.
I would never have given it a 66, I would never have given it a 66, that's just me but a soft strike to me should limit the grade, especially in modern saved coinage such as this to MS-64. I mean how hard are they, (50-D's) to find in any nice mint state grades?
Absolutly! Jeffs. are one of my favorite coins for my "cheap" collection (commems are expensive!) any-who. i feel your pain, its one tough date to find in NICE circulated condition. I have seen the circulated versions going for MORE than the uncirculated! And the the original poster, nice coin! :thumb: shame about the weak strike, but thats something hard to avoid with nickels.
Ben, The 1950-D is actually pretty elusive in MS67, only a handful each year are auctioned by Heritage. Now finding and MS67 with rainbow toning, that is tough to do. I wish this one would return to the market, I won't lose next time. http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=445&Lot_No=7573#photo As it is, I have to settle for my nice little MS66.
