<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 923560, member: 15309"]I take that to mean that you would never purchase a 1964 Jefferson Nickel than as these two coins are at the upper echelon of quality for the date/mm. The 1964 Jeffersons are common as dirt since over 1 billion were minted but very few are of a high enough quality to end up in slabs. The current populations in MS65/MS66/MS67 are 162/114/7. If that is what you mean by common, then yes, they are common.</p><p> </p><p>The spirit of this thread was to pretend that you were a registry collector of Jefferson Nickels with $500 to spend and you had to select on of the two coins offered. It was meant to challenge the grading skills of the Cointalk membership in a fun way. </p><p> </p><p>While I understand that you personal standards for collecting coins are extremely high, that should not preclude you from engaging in a hypothetical exercise. Why bother? Because discussing grading scenarios helps people learn about grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
