Trolling on a Monday night, you miss football that much huh?
No, I read the thread, hit reply, was interrupted by a phone call, and then posted my reply. But hey, thank you so much, you have been very...
When I first read this thread, that link was not there, it was a link to a topic on the CU forum.
Man you are good! Coin A is indeed MS67 and resides in my NGC Registry Collection. [IMG] Coin B is raw but I grade it MS66 with an outside...
I think the surfaces of this coin are certainly gem quality if not premium gem. While I don't really like the toning or the overall eye appeal...
That is awesome, it just got me $10 off my next submission. How do you use the program, is there a form?
Deeply toned and the luster appears muted. I'm going with MS63 and I agree that a sulfur laden envelope probably caused the toning.
I was tempted to grade the coin MS67 by NGC but between the toning and lack of lighting in photos, I think I might be missing some minor marks. I...

Which of these 1952-S Jefferson Nickels would you rather have in your collection and why? Please vote in the attached poll for the coin you...

Much better, I like the photo on the left. I think that if photos are too large, they exaggerate the imperfections on the coin and cause the...
Lol, yeah, I was using a little hyperbole there. My point was the chance that anyone here owns an MS68 Franklin Half is non-existent.
I'm not sure why you are getting defensive about the responses in this thread. The coin is not AU. Nobody has called it AU, and I doubt very...
This is a great thread, wish we had more posts like this to read. Thanks BQ!
I like the third photo. Might I suggest that you present the coins with smaller photos so that they can be viewed side by side at the same time.
I think you are going to find that the people who actually participate and respond in comments to GTG threads are pretty good graders and are not...
How does a poll make guessing the grade easier?
I'm going with MS64. The reed marks on the head and right obverse field should keep it out of a gem holder IMO. It is very difficult to judge...
Like NGC, PCGS started the FB designation for Rosie's in 2003. The same does not apply to Mercs. As far as I know, the FB designation for Mercs...
