<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2641775, member: 77413&quot;]Neither! This is an MS66+. That is an unfortunate place to have the nick. It does not have an FS designation, but PCGS has 24 graded higher, and does not have any graded over MS67. There are 28 higher with FS.</p><p><br /></p><p>Statistics aside, I did think I may have overpaid for this, considering it was my first Jefferson and I had not done my homework. But looking at auction photos on Heritage, this depth of color is unusual. And even higher graded coins seem to have more marks on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I went back to the LCS a couple of days ago, the dealer rhapsodized over this coin again (at that same time he had about 15 mint 1909-S VDBs and a stack of 19th century proofs sitting on the counter in front of me), even though it had been a month since he sold it.</p><p><br /></p><p>So there are times the price and numbers don&#039;t tell the whole story. I am honored to be the custodian of this nickel and pleased to share it to the limit of my abilities. I do hope you enjoy it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
