<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2940045, member: 15309&quot;]For whatever reason, both PCGS &amp; NGC are more lenient with respect to surface marks on later date Jefferson Nickels than they are on coins from the 30&#039;s &amp; 40&#039;s.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know why, only that they are.&nbsp; It is fine to say that the coin I referenced is overgraded, but if you look at more examples of the 68-S you will find that it doesn&#039;t look out of place in an MS66 holder.&nbsp; I would be very surprised if my coin comes back an MS65 given the exceptional strike, luster, and eye appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think your point might give us insight as to why the TPGs seem to vary their standards year by year within a given series.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is exactly where I am at with respect to grade on this coin.&nbsp; That said, I think I&#039;m going to submit it anyway and hope for an MS67 and keep it for my registry collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
