<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 798228, member: 15309&quot;]Jim,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Your problem is two-fold.&nbsp; NGC is more lenient with respect to numerical grade but they are far more strict with regards to the full step designation.&nbsp; The 1955 derives it&#039;s value from the full steps.&nbsp; Without full steps it is only worth $25 in MS66.&nbsp; With full steps it is worth over $100 even in MS64.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My advice is to only send this coin to NGC if the steps are good enough to yield a full step designation 100% of the time.&nbsp; If there is any doubt at all, send the coin to PCGS.&nbsp; While the grade might slip to MS64, you would still be left with a PCGS coin with a population of 31/32 with an established auction record of over $100.&nbsp; NGC has only certified three 1955 Jefferson Nickels with a full step designation.&nbsp; Chances are good that if you send it to NGC you will end up with an MS65/66 worth $10-$25.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
