Message:: [QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2641847, member: 19250"]Ron Please understand  that  this post isn't  to pick apart  a nice Jefferson .  However  after putting  together  two complete  sets in MS as well as a proof set of Jefferson  nickels I can't  from the images see it  as a 66+. Since grading is subjective  that's  my opinion . Maybe in hand My opinion  would change. I can see from its  color the + being given.The ding in the lower left steps definitely  rules out an FS on the slab. The other hits on Jefferson  makes be think again  from the image it's  a 65.What generation  slab is it in? As that could be another reason it graded a point higher than what I grade it.Also PCGS has always graded Jefferson  nickels above NGC standards.At one time PCGS  would give a nickel a better shake on the grade then NGC. I know this as when I first began having coins slabbed  my grades always came back higher from PCGS. Even coins that were graded by other TPG. I have always  like "personally"  the NGC slab its  self  over the PCGS slab. After breaking  out of PCGS slabs and sending the coins to NGC they at about 90% came back 1 point lower in grade.I sold last Fall a 1971 S no s Proof  Jefferson  graded by PCGS at 67 DC . That I never sent it into NGC as my fear was it would come back a lower grade. The Pr. 67 DC had a pop of 9 . So after my experience  of busting out PCGS coin and sending to NGC  I wasn't  going to even try to either put it in a slab I liked  or run the risk of a lower grade.Your coin is quite  nice and has great eye appeal, and given a chance  to  purchase  it from a dealers case I would if I was in the market for a 50 D.[/QUOTE]
