Not to derail the thread, but depending on what you collect I recommend using this website: https://www.sixbid.com/en/ It aggregates a whole...
First - collect what you like and can afford. If you like these coins with problems, then knock yourself out. Just, don't be disappointed when I...
Collect what you like, of course, but that would have been a hard pass from me.
I don't know a whole lot about these, but that seems to be a fantastic strike. Out of curiosity, why are you sending it to PCGS?
Foreign coins in NGC slabs will be in higher demand and easier to buy and sell. PCGS generally is less accurate with foreign coins. If you are...
The die polish in these images is incredible. I'm not sure I've seen such polish in the hair like that before.
Again, probably not actually worth sending to CAC - but would easily get the sticker, I think. And I think your reasoning is quite sound as to...

Thanks for the show reports! Glad to hear things are moving.
My guess is, the graders had several choices of problems on this coin, and that's the one they went with. My guess is, this coin spent some time...
I will take your word for it, because you are the expert on nickels - but yes, that is exactly what I did. I guessed 65 5FS, for precisely that...
Wow, that is a ridiculously good fake. Sure would have fooled me! Thanks @Jack D. Young and friends for all the work you are doing to search...
Absolutely beautiful luster quality on this coin! Obverse is a 65+, but the wounded eagle lowers the grade. I'm not convinced it should lower it...
The raised disturbed metal around the gouge would tend to indicate that this is post-mint damage.
That is an ultra-premium 64. Easily 64+, and it has a good shot at 65 if you were to resubmit (granted, its a common date so not worth it). (For...
Late to the party, but wow. I was at 64 no-FS myself. No way that's a 66! While I really like the presentation of the set (and wish NGC would go...
I'm at 65. I think I'd want a bit more luster for a 66. Nice coin, though. That plastic sure has seen better days!
While some coins do tone in slabs (in the olden days, some of the chemicals used in the slabs actually caused the toning!), it is a less common...
That is a gorgeous coin and a gorgeous photo. I'm at 65, due to the marks on the buffalo's shoulder.
I'm a big fan of the big bear of Bern.
