It is a nice coin but I don't think the eye appeal or the luster (based on the photos) is enough to push the coin to the next grade. If the...
Here is what Bernard Nagengast says about the 1941-S in THE JEFFERSON NICKEL ANALYST "1941-S if often seen with an off-luster (halo-effect) and a...
Wow, that is an amazing Conder. Just Incredible. I would love to see your collection in hand. [IMG]
