Please GTG of the 1939-S Rev of 40 Jefferson Nickel shown below. I have attached a poll for you to cast your vote and you may select up to 3...
I don't know if you are right, but I like the analysis either way.
No tricks Jason, but I'm stubborn and very confident of my ability to grade Jefferson Nickels. I had this coin at MS66 5FS which carries a...
So it has been about a year since I posted this thread, but I finally got the coin back from NGC. Looks like ICG had this one right, and so did...
MS65
5.0, that’s a very cool coin. If it was gem or premium gem, it would approach monster status.
I think I knew that, and as a result, I think some of those coins are the most egregious applications of the star designation.
It’s hard to do dimes justice in photos, but the Mercury in particular doesn’t look like a 2 to me, high 3s, maybe a 4 luster dependent. I’ve...
I have no problem with either of the dimes or the 1886 Morgan which has a tremendous overall appearance. The commemorative was disgraceful.
Depends on the coin, I actually agree with the star on this one. [IMG]
So that just means it wasn’t limited to the Battle Creek coins. For whatever reason, NGC rewards small swatches and rainbow crescents with stars....
Other than small crescent Battle Creek Morgan Dollars, I don’t recall seeing any 2’s with stars.
Agreed, I’ve submitted several hundred coins to NGC over the years and I’ve never gotten a star. Nothing with a star should rank in the threes,...
In fairness, the people judging this coin are only seeing my photos. My guess is that an in hand inspection of this coin would raise their score...
I deal almost exclusively in Jefferson Nickels. The easiest way to make money is to buy a complete set and sell it piece by piece. The problem...
My rating of that Franklin was 5.5. My photos don’t do the vibrancy of the colors justice and it still ranks as the best toned Franklin I’ve ever...
It seems like all of these are graded AU58, so I’m playing the odds
I think they are both undergraded, even by 1939 standards.
I think #2, #3, #5 can be excluded from being genuine, especially #5 with the seam. Since I’ve never seen (or don’t recognize) the edge pattern...
Listen you ridiculous dude, it’s real simple, he denied denigrating Carr’s work. In a subsequent post he referred to Carr’s work as “crap” which...
