    What does everyone think?
    Possible grade, luster and does it appear to be a six step nickel?

    Nice looking Jefferson.

    Small amount of marks on Jefferson's jaw and forehead. I don't see any noticeable wear.

    67, good shot for 68. Luster looks great.

    There seems to be something on the bottom step above the N and T in Monticello that looks like it interrupts the separation of the bottom two steps.

    But the others look real good. At least a 5 FS.

    It's at least a 5 FS for sure. It flirts with 6 I just can't tell if that is a 'real' something on that last step or not.
    I'd be happy with a 67 possible 68 and 5 FS!

    Very nice 1987-D:thumb: MS-66+ 5FS.
    or a MS-67 5FS
    :smile1967-1987-P+D is hard years for full steps. but most FS are D minted P's are the hard 1!!! .:kewl:

    Well, even at that, I'll take it! I just thought the fields looked very nice and the strike sharp. Just wasn't sure about that last step!

    Certainly looks like 6 FS to me Rev.

    I think it does as well.. That little area seems more like shadow than problem.

    Any chance you can take a closer picture of that area?

    It hasn't arrived yet and believe me, my photos are nowhere as good...

    This is a shot of just the step area it does blow up pretty decent. Perhaps enough to tell for now..
