<p>[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 26367089, member: 77413"]I don’t see any chatter, if you mean it was abraded by another coin. I do see some remaining planchet roughness that the strike did not obliterate. There is usually more than this on most Jeff’s, plus there is usually roughness on the jacket collar and shoulder. Basically, I think this is unusually well struck, considering how hard a metal nickel is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse detail is also excellent, showing the spindles in the balustrade along the roof. Windows are clear and sharp. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can’t quite grant an FS designation. The mark at upper left does bridge the step. (I have mentioned before that I think taking away FS because of a post-strike contact just seems petty.) The roughness along the bottom also bridges in a few places. All in all, a very nice coin, so I went with MS66+.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
