Jefferson nickel collectors: should I bother to try to cross this?

Here is my ICG MS67 FS Jefferson nickel.

1950-D FS

It would be much more rare and impressive in a PCGS or NGC holder. Judging from the scan, do you think it has a chance? I’d be interested in what you look for to determine if this is MS67 material.

Thanks,

Dan

From the blown up picture, it appears that it doesn't have full steps to me. It's a fairly weak strike, in my opinion. I think it might cross to PCGS as MS66 possibly.

Why? It is what it is regardless of the holder.

As to whether it's FS, I can't tell from the picture. Let me go get my electron microscope and I'll tell you... lol

Overall Monticello looks to be weakly struck and it is hard to get a good look at the steps from the pic. Hard to say how it would cross.

Looks pretty clean, can't tell if ot's full steps or not. My thought would be that it might cross to a 66, but the weak monticello is probably going to prevent a 67.

Only submit it if you think it is very, very solid for the grade. PCGS has not graded a 50d in 67fs. I submitted about three or four that looked better than any other 67fs I had seen and they all came back 66fs.

"PCGS has not graded a 50d in 67fs"

Morris: I have one right here, so that can't be right?

"Lucky, lucky you. You poped it...congrats. It must me a stunning coin."

Morris: Come on. You know better than that!!

I recently bought the pop 1/0 coin from the lucky submitter. This date is surprising tough in 67FS. The combination of 67FS is very difficult - you either get a real nice coin without FS or a strong FS that only achieves an MS66 quality. I've actively tried to make one since around 1997 without any luck. Came "close" one time on a neat rainbow coin, but that was about it.
