    There is no doubt in my mind that this one is Premium Gem. The Luster present in hand doesn't quite make a 68 but it is close.
    Smooth and deep.
    ICG nailed this one.

    It's going in the $50 and under thread. @jtlee321
    Many got the grade right.
    No one got the correct grade and tie breaker.
    Well done on the 67's

    Thanks Sal. Photos can be tricky, I haven't done good lately with GTG's. Been way too busy to follow along.
    We'll just say that a coin with a weak strike, or worn strike can sometimes be associated with a circulated or bag marked coin.
    Don't let the difference in luster confuse you.

    Not sure how I missed this thread, and I'm sure the reveal has been done since it is 3 pages long, but here it goes, Ed Wood style.

    Nice coin no doupt.... I would grade it at 64/65 . Sorry but no way a 67 and if sent to the top two graders I believe that it be a 65. I've never seen an ICG coin that the grade or label truly matched what the coin in the slab actual grade.

    ICG is actually pretty good at grading Jefferson Nickels.

    One out of how many? Sorry one example doesn't persuade me of what 50 years of collecting knows.

    When I see a Jefferson in an ICG holder at a show, I don't ignore it, I look closely to see if it matches the assigned grade. If it does, I offer money for one grade lower and usually leave with a nice coin.

    I just purchased my first ICG slab about two months ago an 1849 half dime. In a detailed slab marked detailed crossion. And busted it out, gave it a dip in Acetone it was a better of the 1849 varieties.
    Traded to a dealer friend as I already had the die marriage for $265 cash & trade...
    The coin was crusty ,but nothing a acetone dip didn't fix. And it was just dipped not soaked or cleaned.
    If a TPG doesn't know the difference between dirt and rust then I have no need for their service.

    The only reason I purchased this was a dealer showed it to me and wanted to dump it as it sat in his case .
    So I knew it was the variety and for for $40 it was a no brainer. However I would of never looked at it had not Len didn't show me the slab....as he knew I collected H-10's.

    It's an art, not a science. You go by a hierarchy you miss the forest for the trees.

    I looked at a few ICG Jeffersons today at the Denver Coin Expo.
    If I didn't find what I was looking for. I would have been back for a few of them.

    @Paddy54 I don't have the history that Lehigh does with crack and grading, not even close, If ICG wasn't a market acceptable grader they wouldn't be in the top 4 TPG's.
    I find more ICG coins that I am willing to buy than ANACS.

    Edit:
    Unless it is a Soap box slab. I have more Soap bar slabs than any other slab in my collection.

    Art would be Market grading and early Technical grading would be a science.
