  • I will ask a stupid question now. Why not. Why will PCGS not grade your nickel?

    Kind regards.............Andrew
    Thanks image

    All we need now, is a snow white nickel and we can run the three of them up a flag pole. image

    Frank,

    It came back PR66, which is exactly what I had in my notes.image

  • Both Jeffersons pictured above look excellent - I'll probably send my blue one in the next time I send some coins in and see what they think. Nice pieces guys!

    Hey Don,

    Yours looks like a PR68DCAM. How close am I?

    two real beauty's!!!! image i have 'em pink, gold, violet and combinations. russ, your's looks to have a little haze and don, your's appears to have some cameo. what grade was assigned to them?

    i have a 1962 that is about the same color as russ's but it is an obvious CAM/DCAM so i plan to wash it before i submit because i really believe the color inhibits the graders "seeing" the frost or at leastjudging thedepth of the mirrors. i'll try to help them out!!image

    Russ - Gold is always nice. You have some really great coins and a good eye.
    Too bad its in the middle of your forehead. Just kidding ! Bear

    Keets,

    I does have a touch of haze on the reverse. But, since it's a nickel, I was afraid to dip it. Obverse is nice and clean.

  • like this bear? link

    hey russ

    i'd think some of the color would be lost to a dip but using your suggested dip my nickels have emerged haze free or at the very least much improved. just a quick in/out was all it took.

    KlectorKid - Every time I see the old red , white and blue in the general shape of our flag,
    I just want to stand up straight with pride and salute. I guess its the old soldier in me. Thank you
    for the neat color display. TheBear appreciates your time and efforts.

    PR68 Dcam, and Russ, you cheated......BTW - now that you're done with that blue one, can I have it?image



    PS - Al, color doesn't hurt the dcam designation if the frost is heavy and the color is even.

    I have a blue one, I'll have to send it in with a batch... I don't think it is nearly as high end as yours.

  • Nice Nickel Russ. Thanks for posting it . I like those colored nickels. I was wondering, are there colored nickels in other years. Or is this just common to like the sixties nickels. I also have a nickel I would like graded soon it will be my first coin submission, and was wondering should i dip it in something to like get any dust specks off of it before I send it in? I don't want to change the color or anything.
