<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 8176188, member: 15309&quot;]Ok guys, here is the story behind my 1948-D registry slot.&nbsp; In 2011 I purchased a 1948-D Jefferson Nickel ANACS MS66 5FS and cracked the coin out an put it in my album collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/LtUHvUr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>From time to time, I revisit my album collection and look for coins that are too good for the album collection and deserve submission, this coin made the grade so to speak, so I submitted it to NGC in 2017.&nbsp; The result was an 1948-D NGC MS67 5FS.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/BKjYfoz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ylKYsB5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/7U2SQCq.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I was so excited about adding this coin to my registry set that I immediately sold my existing registry coin which was a phenomenal rainbow toned MS66*.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/CdwSL4A.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/DCHAV96.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>After selling the coin, I forgot to delete it from my registry set, and when I got the submission back from NGC, life intervened and it took me a few weeks to get through the entire submission.&nbsp; Most of the other coins were early Jeffersons and by the time I got to the 1948-D, I had forgotten that I sold my MS66*.&nbsp; When I compared the new MS67 5FS to the photo of the MS66*, I decided that the toned coin was prettier and that I could use the $500, so you guessed it, I mistakenly sold both of my registry coins.&nbsp; Add insult to injury, I didn&#039;t even notice that I had no 48-D in my collection until years later.&nbsp; Since the 48-D is an easily slot to fill, I bought this coin in January 2021 for $91 (well below price guide), Coin #1 (gold toner).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/xfbuq6i.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In May of 2021, I purchased a complete Jefferson Dansco album for $3.64/coin which yielded Coin #3 (paster toner), which immediately went into the queue for submission.&nbsp; My expected grade for this coin was MS66*.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/N16JYmQ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then in August of 2021, I purchased Coin #2 (rainbow toner) off eBay for $27.&nbsp; The seller&#039;s photos were decent, but not great.&nbsp; When I opened the package, I was greeted by one of the greatest and most lustrous standard alloy Jefferson Nickels I had ever seen.&nbsp; My expected grade was either MS67+, MS67*, MS67*+, or even MS68.&nbsp; Yes, the visual impact of this coin is that good.&nbsp; When viewed side by side with the pastel toner, there is no question which is the superior coin, unless you are the NGG grader that is.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Cjhv4gO.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The simple fact that coin #1 and coin #3 have a higher grade than coin #2 is nothing short of a numismatic travesty.&nbsp; Needless to say, despite the lower grade, this coin now firmly resides in NGC registry set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
