<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3446431, member: 15309"]The coin is well struck but does not qualify for full steps. As for the grade, based on those photos, I see friction in the fields which would mean AU58. In case I am interpreting the photos incorrectly, and the coin is actually mint state, it would still only grade MS63 max. There are a ton of contact marks on that coin in both the fields and devices and the luster is subpar as well. IMO, this coin is not worth having graded. As a general rule, Jefferson Nickels need to be at least gem grade to be worthy of a submission.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
