<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 8017586, member: 15309&quot;]You have to remember that Jefferson Nickels really aren&#039;t collectible below the premium gem grades (MS66-67) and most MS65&#039;s will lose money on the grading fees so most people will only submit them if they have a decent chance at premium gem grades.&nbsp; So if you see a graded Jefferson Nickel, your first thought should be MS65-MS67.&nbsp; Most of the coins graded in the lower mint state grades are typically net grades for problems that are not severe enough to warrant a details grade.&nbsp; For example:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/gJwgsbk.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/7sTnWbH.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/uH1Obch.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This coin has premium gem color &amp; luster, with a premium gem obverse, but the gouges on the reverse are so severe that NGC net graded the coin all the way down to MS62.&nbsp; Now compare the severity of the marks on this coin to the rather minor impairment on the subject coin of this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/g0NQepN.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Most people had this coin at MS66 for the same reason you graded it MS63.&nbsp; You are being a little too punitive with your evaluation of that impairment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
