    NGC received my submission, so let's have a "guess the grade" contest for 12 nickels.
    Contest will run until 04/10/17 23:59 EST
    Results will be posted in roughly 3 weeks. You'll know when I know.

    Who can play:
    Any member that has been registered for at least 1 year and has a minimum of 200 posts.

    How to play:
    Please MESSAGE me with a complete list of the coin#1 and your grade guess. Be as specific as possible.

    For example:
    1. MS65 5FS
    2. MS67+ 6FS
    3. etc...
    NGC Grading:
    NGC grades Jefferson as either 5FS or 6FS. PCGS grades FS for Jeffs with a minimum 5.5 steps.
    Let's not forget ★'s and +'s.

    1st Place - 1945 D PCGS MS65+

    2nd Place - 1954 PCGS MS65 Nickel

    Thanks for playing and good luck.

    Corrections:
    #8 should read: 1942 P Type 2
    #9 should read: 1945 P

    The images are correct.

    I enjoy being discriminated against because of my 11 month membership status.

    lol not all discrimination is bad discrimination :D

    You would certainly discriminate against walking in a hungry looking tigers cage wouldn't you? And you wouldn't act like that poor tiger is being discriminated against lol

    Greg, this is one of the best GTG threads in a while now. I admire your selection of toners and the quality of your pictures.

    Looking at your rainbow Jeffersons and trying to GTG is certainly among the most entertaining things on CT right now (...only Rare-Tim threads are more fun :)

    Well Greg not many nickel lovers.... but with out a doubt you got some of the nicest specimens on the forum. Yeah we all like high grades....but to me it's a trinity eye appeal , color,and grade.
    And that's for any coin.... minted.
