<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 656438, member: 15309&quot;]IMO, the color had nothing to do with it.&nbsp; The 50&#039;s and 60&#039;s Jefferson&#039;s are graded by a different standard than the early nickels by NGC.&nbsp; PCGS would have never given this coin an MS67, but it is consistent with the way NGC grades Jeffersons&nbsp; Also what you are seeing is extremely magnified by the size of the photo.&nbsp; I can see this coin in an MS66 holder as well, but I don&#039;t have a problem with it in a 67.&nbsp; Just to show you I am not making this stuff up, here is a photo of a 1955 NGC MS66.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1955NGCMS66.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1955NGCMS66Obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1955NGCMS66Reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>NGC&#039;s grading standard with regard to Jeffersons are a big reason why PCGS Jeffersons sell for a much high price.&nbsp; In my experience, NGC is usually about 1/2 a grade to high with this series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
