Jefferson nickels are notorious for not being well struck. That one you have, is about as good as it gets. Typically, MS66 is as high as they go....
If you know your coins you can get some very good bargains in ICG slabs. And it is almost common for them to be upgraded by NGC or PCGS.
You might try reading this - Mint Mark Trading Partners As for the banks, doubt you'll find one that will say they can get rolls of a specific...
if you do a search of the forums you will find very detailed an in depth discussions about these coins. But you're gonna have to go back a few...
That is not necessarily true. Yes, if you take a small picture and enlarge it it does happen. But I think what kanga is talking about is starting...
