Now that the cat is out of the bag, I would like to delve further into what the NGC graders were thinking. I think the only area that could be...
Yep, just nipped my 1945-S NGC MS67 5FS.
Already done! Lehigh's Homemade War Nickels
That is because it doesn't exist. The best I can come up with is that there is some remnant planchet roughness at 6 o'clock that the NGC grader...

Ok, so with grading fees, it is over $50, but it is still great to cherrypick a 43/2-P off eBay for $13. Until the grading company skunks you...

What would you guys do if you got this grade?
MS65
I think you need to climb the ladder within the USPS. You are mailing to a company, there is NO first and last name, and it isn't negotiable.
