I think I remember seeing an ICG MS68. There are no 1950-D MS68's graded by either PCGS or NGC to my knowledge or in the population reports.
I would send the 5-5-4-5 to PCGS unless the weakness under the third pillar is obvious. You will find many coins with that exact same step count...
First, I would like to welcome a fellow Jefferson Nickel enthusiast to the forum. Your question is very important and surprisingly difficult to...
The coin looks to have been polished at one point. I will guess VF details with a net grade of F-15.
Wow! I would like to see a photo of that coin. Please!
Some call it guts, others call it stupidity. The truth is it is probably a little of both.
I really think that applying beta coefficient to this conversation will do more to confuse it than clarify it. However, comparing the beta of...
I voted and I hope we both win!
Okay, I will agree to disagree. PCGS OGH's have that reputation of being graded more conservatively. And even though this coin has a Gold CAC...
But that is the point. If nobody can tell the difference, how would you ever be in a position to find out that the coin is only worth $200. I...
The chart does disprove what you are saying. You don't seem to understand what happened in the 80's. Prior to 1986, the grading of coins was...
I was advocating that conditional rarities often times deserve what appears at first glance to be ridiculous price tags. This includes modern...
Like $500-$600
I am not sure I understand. What is the want ad for?
Dion, Regarding your question, I think pictures are worth a 1,000 words. Here are photos of an MS65 1939 Doubled Monticello Jefferson Nickel...
Oh smack! If we were voting, that coin would get my vote. I assume that incredibly attractive coin is an MPL?
I was a teenager in the 80's and my coin collection consisted of circulated Mercury Dimes. What I do know is that the crash of 1989 had nothing...
It seems pretty obvious that he is one of the modern coin searchers that Doug referred to in his post. In addition, the NGC MS67 FS coin would...
I feel like I have had this discussion with you before. You say that the difference between MS67 and MS68 is almost indiscernable but I bet you...
Hold on to your hats folks and listen up. Doug is 100% correct on this one. It is not age that prevents the existence of MS68+ business strikes....
Separate names with a comma.
