<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 852663, member: 15309&quot;]Mike,</p><p><br /></p><p>You are absolutely correct about planchet flaws on Jefferson Nickels.&nbsp; And while there are some on the reverse, I am not sure I would classify this coin as putting on a clinic.&nbsp; Typically, the main area for planchet flaws is the jawline and collar on the obverse.&nbsp; For example:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1952NGCMS67Obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>You are also correct that the 1953-S is one of the worst struck in the entire series.&nbsp; I think most collectors have an idea of what a Jefferson Nickel with an average strike should look like.&nbsp; What they forget is that an average strike changes from year to year.&nbsp; This coin actually has one of the best strikes I have ever seen for a 1953-S and would certainly be classified as an above average strike.&nbsp; I believe fret pointed that out earlier in the thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>While the strike of this coin may pale in comparison to a 1940-D, it is excellent for a 1953-S.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
