Can you get us a photo using direct lighting? I’m not willing to give up on yet, I wanna see the luster profile in conjunction with the color...
[IMG] [IMG] I was curious what these coins would look like right next to each other. I think bottom coin has marginally better surfaces and...
Planchet roughness is pervasive in the Jefferson series. If you look at my registry set, virtually every coin has some level of remnant planchet...
Here are my standards for the 1950-D registry coin: 1) The coin must have premium gem surfaces and be preferably be graded MS67, though I would...
Yeah, that thing is toast, hope you got it for melt. That isn't rainbow toning, that is basically terminal toning.
Considering the wild colors available in early 60’s proof Jeffersons, I don’t think that could could drive much of a premium at all. $18.50
PCGS uses FS which only needs five full steps. NGC designates both 5FS and 6FS. There is a reason I used 5FS in the poll.
MS63
That was funny, but you didn’t give us your grade. Btw, speaking of whales, I’m currently reading Moby Dick. Also, I refer to the 50-D as my...
Please guess the grade of the 1950-D Jefferson Nickel shown below by voting in the attached poll. Please make your grade determination and cast...
I see very little remaining luster. AU53
Yes, but MS66 FS is $275.
It looks cleaned to me, but even in problem free AU, these are only worth a few bucks. Heck, even in MS67 they are only worth about $100.
Yup, it is a hole filler at this point, lucky to get a $1 for it.
Linked below is my thread on this topic from 2012. Jefferson Nickels Reverse of 38 vs Reverse of 40
PCGS only requires five complete steps for the FS designation. This coin clearly has 5 steps, they blew it. The only concern at all is the small...
I disagree, the second set of photos show that coin is clearly a 1939 Rev of 40.
Those are much better photos and I can now make two definitive statements. 1) It is not a proof. 2) It has been harshly cleaned, the last two...
Yeah, this coin got robbed. I was gonna cross it but forgot to send it cause i forgot to put it with the others for submission.
I’m leaning towards not a proof coin. I’ve never seen a proof with those types of marks on the steps and there even seems to be some planchet...
