<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2298383, member: 15309&quot;]Another coin that I was hoping would make MS67.&nbsp; The 1954-S is notoriously the worst struck in the entire series.&nbsp; Most 54-S look like absolute garbage which makes this coin a giant among men.&nbsp; As and example of what I am talking about, consider this 1954-S</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Raw/JN%201954-S%20BU_zpsbpw6mnln.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now obviously, this is poorly struck even by the typical 1954-S standards but I wanted to give you an idea of the broad range of quality for this date/mm.&nbsp; And I promise you, in my experience, most 54-S are closer to this in quality than the one I submitted.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Back to the coin in question, There is a large mark on Jeff&#039;s jawline mixed in with some planchet roughness.&nbsp; I thought there might be chance that the graders would consider that mark part of the planchet flaws and give the coin a top grade.&nbsp; Alas, they finally caught one and limited the grade to MS66 on what is otherwise and MS67 coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Raw/JN%201954-S%20NGC%20MS66%20OH_zpsmn1vr5tq.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
