I like rainbow sherbert :smile
Chasin, The population of the 1953 Jefferson Nickel MS66 is 85/5 with all five examples with the MS67 graded by NGC. The 1953 Jefferson MS67 is...
I will take a crack at the second question. My short answer is no, I don't see an upward-trend for this series simply because the large majority...
I don't necessarily use that grading system when purchasing toned coins, I go more by instinct based upon years of experience. However, I think...
