And who would that seller be?

A smart marketer, there are many that make too much of a nice coin. Believe it or not, some would even be less than honest in their practices. I know right... You're more schooled than that though, and expect that you didn't get taken.

 

At this point, we have 20 members who voted on the grade of the coin. Not one of those collectors thinks the coin is GEM BU, but the seller does. How does GSC describe this nickel?

1939-D Jefferson Nickel, Lustrous GEM BU.

Well, the coin is decidedly, not lustrous, and let's face it, an experience collector will not be fooled into thinking this is a GEM BU coin. But that isn't who GSC is hoping will buy this coin, they target the uneducated collector who might in fact believe they are buying a GEM BU key date Jefferson Nickel.

 

Bravo ....... Lehigh96 that's a slam dunk case if I've ever seen one.

 

That listing violates the PNG Code of Ethics which states:

IMO, GSC does this routinely with their raw coins. If they were overly optimistic about a coin here or there, that would be one thing, but they do this incessantly.

 

Was replying if he should send for grading... Changed my grade to AU. Considering your suggestion. Thanks. Cheech

 

My point was that the 39-D is the key date of the series and would be worthy of grading submission if in gem state, regardless of the step detail.

 

Was wondering. Would any nickel recieve a BU grading even with the (moth) damage on the collar of the 39d. Your opinion. Cheech

 

I found your thread interesting. This thread stayed on topic for a good chat

 

To reply to this question no.... as most here stated the coin is what most of us nickel collectors would consider a filler. For an album of mid grade coins. However for the die hard collector they would want MS coins.
An occasional Au 55/58 as long as it had eye appeal maybe acceptable depending on the collector.
The coin in question to my eye has some sort of issues going on. True it has details...but to a new collector reading the descriptions may be convinced that it is a high quality coin.
Some people have ethics others don't and to some of us a thread like this just proves that yes you getting what you see,but as a new collector whom may be inexperienced is being taken by what's written.
