Don't ask me how, but this coin does not have a star. [img]
Any more guesses? I will reveal later today.
MS62
C’mon man, give me some credit. I would never have even submitted this coin for grading. I got it with bad photos for a good price (or so I...
How did you get this? And do you agree with the grade?
C’mon NGC, this is absolute freaking dreck! [IMG] This is high end 64 or low end 65 but no way is this full steps. I’m seriously considering...
Bag marks have nothing to do with the star designation. They lower the numerical grade but are not considered when evaluating for the star...
Ok, star or no star? Graded by NGC. [IMG]
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...

Please guess the grade of the 1981-D Jefferson Nickel shown below. I have attached a poll for you to cast your vote and you may select up to 4...
Ok, that photo is much much better. And I agree with you that the luster is pretty good, the eye appeal is nice, and I think it is an easy MS65...
Well, you guys pretty much nailed this one. Personally, I like this more as an MS65 FBL, but only because the 58-D is known to generate so many...
I think that is a no brainer 5 full steps and it is close to 6 full steps. The reverse looks to be a solid MS65, but your obverse photo is...
Definite star
The practice of having different grading standards within a series is really not that uncommon, though it is typically isolated to strike or...
