Thank you to everyone who participated in this GTG thread. I have two more 1950-D Jefferson Nickels that I am considering submitting and would...
Last week, I posted a GTG 1950-D Jefferson Nickel NGC thread and the coin was very well received with most people split between MS66 & MS67 5FS. I...

The toning appears to mute the luster somewhat, I say MS64.
@Beefer518, I found a photo of my PCGS MS66 Antietam. It was a stunning coin with gorgeous toning and photos by Mark Goodman. I think @leeg also...
Please guess the grade of the 1942-S Jefferson Nickel shown below. I have attached a poll for you to cast your vote and you may select up to 3...
That scratch is too big, Unc Details.
Lol, I don't think you need to worry Beefer, I have never seen very many PCGS fanboys on this forum. Btw, I like your Antietam and I miss the one...

I don’t look at price guides when grading coins. I look at the coin, give it the grade I think it deserves, and let the market decide what the...
Given the haziness in the fields and the spotting on the obverse devices, I think the grade is correct. The TPGs don’t like spots on proofs and...
Yeah, I don’t like those photos. They don’t allow you to truly evaluate the surfaces. I’m going MS66 because of the spotting on the reverse....
I’m talking specifically about the practice of using grade limiting marks to hold down the grade. This coin has nice color and eye appeal but not...
I addressed that, by current standards, I meant how they have graded for at least the last 25 years.
Your point is noted and I doubt that anyone would disagree but your assigned grade of MS63 is not consistent with current TPG standards. It is...
It’s really impossible to grade proofs from photos, but judging just from the haziness of the fields I’m going PR65.
Grading of classic commems is heavily influenced by luster and eye appeal, and this coin probably has an abundance of both that we can’t...
Like I said, they are tough on the 43-D and if the luster isn’t there, it won’t get a gem grade.
