    The design is fine, but Liberty Nickels usually lack luster and other than the proofs, they don't tone nicely either. Comparing them to Morgan Dollars is a fools errand.

    I have seen Morgan Dollars that have floored me. I'm still waiting to be impressed by a Liberty Nickel that doesn't bear the date 1913.

    I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Just leaves more pretty 'V's for me!

    And the best looking coin in that group: the 1903 Liberty.

    Hi, a rookie on this site and still trying to understand the mysteries of grading services and the apparent value of plastic holders vs coins. The "rules" on full steps on Jeffersons seem fairly clear yet I see many exceptions to these rule, including this very recent one. I guess I'll give it the benefit of a doubt and assume it's a bad photo, but $3700 for this "full steps" 1938 s sure seems dubious. Marks such as the cut between column 3 and 4 aside, the bridging under columns one and three?? Huh?

    Here is a close up of the steps for that 38s and I can't see how it could be FS either. this is cropped and reverse B&W to show the steps...

    Another Jefferson proof arrived today. The picture and my lack of photography skills don't do it justice...

    My learning continues regarding Jefferson Nickels and the mysteries of "professional grading services." I've studied the "rules," examined many examples and yet I continue to find more exceptions to the rules than can possibly be explained. You don't need to look far for egregious examples, but how about guesses on this one just for kicks. I am hoping you can zoom adequately for details. nickel grade - Copy.jpg
