Coin A has much more eye appeal despite the lower grade, that would be my choice.
For common material, the difference might only be 5-10%, but for registry quality material, it is much higher. That said, ANACS has a good stake...
People who use ICG and ANACS collect coins, but they very rarely sell them. When they finally do, they will learn the virtue of liquidity that...
I always wanted an MS68 full band Mercury Dime, but never ended up pulling the trigger on one. Fantastic looking coin, and welcome to the forum.
Yes, die cracks are very common on Jefferson Nickels, and are often used as PUPs for attributing RPMs.
Please guess the grade of the 1950-D Jefferson Nickel shown below. I have attached a poll for you to cast your vote and you may select up to 4...
I only have one, and I paid handsomely for it. [IMG]
Purple toners are awesome!
Normally I would say MS63 with that obverse, but the reverse is clearly gem grade with a shot at premium gem, so I think it bumps the overall...
Over a decade ago, Doug and I were having one of our typical Cointalk disagreements; he was claiming that a Jefferson I had posted was AU while I...
I agree, I think it is a solid MS66 and it should get full steps about half the time depending on who the grader is, but as we know, NGC has been...
Well, I checked my album collection and the coin residing in the 1978 slot was severely lacking, so this guy just got cracked. It looks better...
I know it has a lot of green, but I wouldn't go above $500 based on those obverse surfaces.
Sweet, I love a full step 58-D, I have at least a half dozen of them.
Great post, what is the grade of that PCGS graded example? That reverse cud is really something.
That is why it is better to "make" them than to buy them. I have become addicted to "making" my registry coins through submissions. It also...
The coin looks high 63 or low 64 based solely on surfaces, but with that color it is going to get a strong color bump. I don't think it will make...
Believe it or not, it is easier to find MS67 Jeffersons from the 30's & 40's than it is from the 70's & 80's. The 1978 is worth a boatload in...
This is a really tough coin to grade. It is one of those Jefferson Nickels that is in between grades, and right on the edge of being full steps...
No worries, the reveal is coming soon, probably later tonight.
Separate names with a comma.
