<p>[QUOTE="Jim sullivan, post: 4741911, member: 100154"]Ive read other posts dealing with this somewhat but wanted to start fresh. I have a 1952 S Jefferson nickel that is the cleanest coin I think Ive ever come across. The pics do NOT do the surface justice. A rub maybe but nothing cutting the surface other than 1 or 2 small spots maybe. Its stupid clean and Im trying to be brutal with it . So stupid clean AND the worst strike I think it could be. Flat, weak details, die wear and abrasion creating a die wear texture. Forget steps, its tough to see the porch..lol..So technically it would be in the state it was minted in, correct? Nearly no damage or visible contact from when it poped out of the press. </p><p>SO....In your opinions from EXPERIENCE and UNDERSTANDING, would the strike restrict it from getting a top grade it could otherwise get with a better strike? I have little experience on this and its not worth submitting if so. But if not, it really is that clean.....thanks for the comments...</p><p>[ATTACH]1159162[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1159163[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
