Why do I have to guess? Normal people would tell the story when the resurrect their own necro thread.
It is higher quality. The luster on war nickels is off the charts because the alloy used. Also, the coins strike better because the alloy is...

Foreign markets just started grading their coins. The US market is the leader to which all the others need to catch up. And considering the...
The incomplete strike and remnant planchet roughness plagues almost the entire Jefferson series. As a result, the TPGs are lenient and for the...
