I don't recall if I ever posted that one, but I know that I have posted this one and I am sure that you have seen it before. This was a great...
I think you have cornered the market on 1939 Jefferson Nickel rainbow toners. Very nice lot!
I am gonna say 1940-D: Yes 1943-P: No, there is a mark that bridges the 3rd & 4th steps between pillars 1 & 2. 1945-D: No, there look to be...
I grade your 1940-D MS66 5FS but there is not much of a price bump for full steps for the 1940-D which is one of the most common date/mm with FS....
That black spot behind the queue on the 1939 is a shame, the toning is extremely attractive. And your photos are excellent.
Based on those photos, I see very little wear and very little luster. My guess was XF-45.
A few years back, I did an experiment where I stuck a bunch of coins in some manilla coin envelopes for 1 year. The result on most of the larger...
The new PCI? Last time I checked, DLRC bought the PCI holders and started DGS in 2009 and folded up shop in 2010.
I knew that coin was gonna have better luster than the Heritage photo. Nice pickup!
This link should answer your question....
Answering this question really puts me in a bind. There are a great many people who believe that strike designations are a marketing scam. I am...
You are correct but I do think that the bridge is small enough that the graders might not see it under only 5X magnification. I will admit that...
Mike, I agree with you but given the price difference, I feel obligated to send it in at least once. This coin is an example of the conundrum...
Yeah, the 6th step is only visible in the first quarter. Both PCGS and NGC only require 5 complete steps for their respective full step designations.
And that is the best part. It resides in an older NGC holder that pre-dates the 5FS designation. The difference between the current holder and a...
I don't see any wear on the part of the coin that we can see, and everything I see indicates we are looking at a proof coin. The reason Larry...
I just took another photo to try and get a bit closer but I am really pushing the limits of my point & shoot camera. [IMG] The disturbance under...
To my surprise, NGC gave this coin a 5FS designation last year. [IMG] It is similar to the coin in the OP in that the disturbance that appears...
That is what I am hoping, but I have a problem that I will divulge after everyone has had a chance to chime in.
I think we are on the same page. The two problem areas I see are: 1) what appears to be a small bridge between the 3rd & 4th steps directly...
