Please guess the grade of the 1941-S Jefferson Nickel shown below. I have attached a poll for you to cast your vote and you may select up to 3 different things: the numerical grade, 5FS or NOT FS, and + grade. As always, comments welcome, and please remember to vote in the poll.
I’m reluctantly going with 67-5FS after seeing the results of the 40D. I hope that person didn’t grade all of your coins.
I'm at MS66 here. Very clean but luster looks to limit it to a 66. I think it just missed 5FS with 4-5-5-5. Again, messed up the poll. I didn't see the "Not FS" option...I simply voted MS66. I believe this is a MS66 NOT FS.
MS 66 5FS....the five steps are there and it only has some minor marks with relatively clean fields....but if we consider the first coin you posted to be an indication of how NGC graded this order, then I can see this as a 65
66 5 full steps. Pretty color, but luster is a little bit dull. Steps are just clean and contiguous enough to be 5 FS.
Skunked again by a grader at NGC. Please click the link below if you would like to participate in my next GTG thread. GTG 1942-S Jefferson Nickel (NGC)
My thought of NGC being hard on this order seems to have come partially true (unfortunately)....hopefully the others are better
