<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3253299, member: 15309&quot;]The incomplete strike and remnant planchet roughness plagues almost the entire Jefferson series.&nbsp; As a result, the TPGs are lenient and for the most part won’t hold it against the grade of the coin.&nbsp; However, PCGS will not usually assign an MS67 grade with remnant planchet roughness, but NGC will.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unlike the Buffalo Nickel series in which grading is highly dependent on strike, strike is the least important element in Jefferson Nickel grading and rarely limits the grade of the coin in the post war years.&nbsp; And while the strike on this coin looks weak, it is actually decent.&nbsp; Because most people only ever see gem grade nickels posted, it is hard to appreciate how bad both the surfaces and strike on a low grade bu Jefferson can get.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, this coin has MS66 surfaces with superior luster and eye appeal.&nbsp; I did not send this one in, I got it for a good price at last weekend’s Allentown/Bethlehem Coin Show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
