Please give me your grade assessment of these 10 Proof Jefferson Nickels.

keets · May 24, 2008 2:36PM

I know the pictures aren't the best, but give me your grade assessment of the 10 Coins pictured below. The 1941 and 1956 Proofs are toned so I took an angled picture of those two. Other than that the pictures are simple with overhead lighting, shot straight-on with nothing done afterwards except cropping/sizing. Thanks in advance.

I think I'd pick the 54 if I had a choice to pick one for my collection... it just seems to say PICK ME

lasvegasteddy · May 25, 2008 1:18AM

keets · May 25, 2008 3:02AM

c'mon guys, how 'bout a little help??? there's a reason why i'm asking but i don't want to let the cat out of the proverbial bag just yet. please, please, please just some honest appraisals of the grade of the coins in a format that makes it easy for me to read. simply cut/paste the following and add the grades......................

1941---

1954---
1956---

1963---

1959---66cam
1963---67cam

1970---67cam
1971---67Dcam

coindudeonebay · May 25, 2008 3:50AM

The ones that would be worthwhile I think are the 41 or is it 41's?
The 54 is a sure shot cam and possibly even ucam at NGC.
The 59 I believe would go cam, iffy on the reverse.
The rest after the 59 are easy cam, but very common and you could probably pick up some nice one already slabbed that wouldn't cost too much a premium.
All in all nice bunch. I say stick with slabbing the 41, 54 and 59 and you'll do ok.

GritsMan · May 25, 2008 4:36AM

If I felt even remotely qualified, I'd chip in. I do love looking at 'em, though!

I'm picking the 59... that's the one I like. And since I know what this is about, I'll pass on grading this time.

Thanks for the giveaway.

hmmmmmmmmmmm

seems I just pm'd bout this puppy 2 seconds ago.

any update?

no rush, I know I am buried in BS, I hope your situation isn't the same

But I really am getting ansey here

BG · April 3, 2011 6:19AM

An old post.

What did your grades look like?

What's your thoughts on this piece? Sratches on holder. Does the reverse need conservation?

pontiacinf · April 3, 2011 6:28AM

I thought this was gonna be a thread about quarters and dimes -oops did I say that?

ColonelJessup · April 3, 2011 6:37AM

I disagree with all preceding posters on this thread based on my knowing absolutely nothing about the subject.

ModCrewman · April 3, 2011 7:23AM

Making me jealous with a few of those Keets.

1941 - PR64
1953 - PR65CAM
1954 - PR66DCAM
1956 - PR66
1959 - PR67CAM
1963 - PR66DCAM
1968 - AMAAZZZING! - PR69DCAM
1970 - PR67CAM
1970 - PR67CAM
1971 - PR67DCAM

Of course all of those grades are +/- 2 points for invisible hairlines.

EDIT - LOL - didn't look at the post date...that 1957 is great BG...I'd say 67CAM with a shot at DCAM.

SanctionII · April 3, 2011 8:21AM

My 2 cents worth:

41 - PF64
53 - PF65
54 - PF66CAM
56 - PF65
59 - PF65CAM
63 - PF66CAM
68S - PF67DCAM
First 70S - PF67CAM
Second 70S - PF66DCAM
71S - PF66CAM

Was I even remotely close?

ModCrewman · April 3, 2011 9:48AM

I did manage to find the followup post to this one for anyone interested on what the actual grading results were:

The results of my little Jefferson Nickel Project a thread by Keets.

ChangeInHistory · April 3, 2011 10:11AM

Not my series, but based on the images I'll guess:

1941---65
1953---67
1954---68 CAM
1956---67
1959---67
1963---67 CAM
1968---68 CAM
1970---67 CAM
1970---68 CAM
1971---67 CAM

SanctionII · April 3, 2011 10:20AM

I did not see the other thread with the posted grades at the time I gave my grade opinions earlier today.

Interesting that my grade opinions of today, 4-3-2011, matched 7 out of 10 of Mirabella's grade opinions posted on 5-25-2008, almost 3 years ago.

Interesting also that I nailed 3 out of 10 grades [the 1954, 1968 and the second 1970]; and that my other seven grades were all LOWER than the grades assigned by PCGS. I must have subconsciously been harsher grading from pictures [where blemishes appear to be present which either are not present on the coin in hand, or are not as noticeable when viewing the coin in hand]. Or maybe I am, for these ten nickels, just stricter than PCGS for this one day.

pcgs69 · April 3, 2011 10:39AM

Can barely tell they're Jefferson Nickels let alone try to guess a grade...

DRUNNER · April 3, 2011 10:49AM

Superb Jeffs with a lot of CAM on many . .but even though these are a pet series, I don;t feel qualified to assess them through these images. But they are NICE !!! I'd love to own them!
