The "no line fatty" holders were used from 1989 to 1995. NGC did not start using the 5FS designation until 2003. It is entirely possible that...
Looks MS66 6FS to me.
Ooooh, that mark on the neck might drop it to MS66, I didn't see that on the first set of photos.
I do it all the time, they are pretty good at giving 5FS when they miss it the first time or the coin was graded prior to the inception of the 5FS...
The coin looks really clean and your photos are a little underexposed so I am guessing that the color and luster are better than your photos are...
Whomever that grader was absolutely destroyed my last submission. He either graded low, or didn't give full steps, or both. That said, my last...
Wow Bobby, you nailed those grades, Bravo!
For those of you who think these coins should share the same grade, I agree with you. For those who think coin #1 is the nicer of the two, I also...
I agree, but I also specifically stated that I am not cracking the coin out, I am using the NGC "Regrade" service.
And what will the Buffalo Nickels look like? Honestly, I think the Buffalo Nickel series had more strike issues than the Jefferson. If we are...
Oh boy, I just pulled and "Ed Wood," sorry bout that.
The obverse is MS62 but the reverse is MS64-65, so I say the resultant grade is MS63.
I say we return to the original pre-war design and relief of the Jefferson Nickels found from 1938-1942. Jefferson is awesome, Monticello is...
Boy am I glad you aren't my NGC grader.
In most cases, having 6FS does not bring a significant premium to 5FS. The only people willing to pay more are those who are attempting to...
That depends on the coin. If the coin has full steps, but is weak in any area at all, I choose PCGS. For toned coins or coins that don't have...
I paid $63 and then $25 for NGC grading fee, but I was expecting MS67*.
