Jefferson grades are in....

Sent in a few things to SEGS recently... here's the list.

Submitted: 9-10-04

5c 1941-S FS-024.6 Minimum Grade MS60
5c 1939 r38 DDR-006 Minimum Grade PR60
5c 1950 DDR-002 Minimum Grade PR60
5c 1955-D OMM-001 Minimum Grade MS60
5c 1955-D OMM-002 Minimum Grade MS60
5c 1955-D OMM-003a DDR-003 Minimum Grade MS60
5c 1955-D OMM-009 Minimum Grade MS60
5c 1955-D OMM-010 Minimum Grade MS60
5c 1956 FS-035.2 QDR-018 Minimum Grade MS60
5c 1963 FS-37.3 Minimum Grade MS60

And here are the results.....

5c 1941-S FS-024.6 == MS63 3323 Steps (This is the Inverted Mintmark Variety that has been debunked by CONECA recently but I will be conducting my own research.)

5c 1939 r38 DDR-006 == PR63 5555 Steps (Nice early date med/large spread.)

5c 1950 DDR-002 == PR62 6666 Steps (This is a scarce and expensive die.)

5c 1955-D OMM-001 == MS64 3323 Steps OMM-005 (Hmmm, I must be slipping, but on the bright side I did not have that OMM and OMM-1 is pretty easily obtainable at any given time. Not bad steps for this variety either.)

5c 1955-D OMM-002 == MS63 3303 Steps

5c 1955-D OMM-003a DDR-003 == MS63 4323 Steps

5c 1955-D OMM-009 == Not OMM-009, did not slab. (Hmmmm)

5c 1955-D OMM-010 == MS63 3324 Steps (Scarcer OMM, last one I saw went for well over $100 on ebay some time ago.)

5c 1956 FS-035.2 QDR-018 == MS64 5335 (Awesome EDS with quad spread on reverse. This coin is blast white.)

5c 1963 FS-37.3 == MS63 4335 (Another nice DDR with a triple spread. This coin is also blast white.)

Only about 200 and some odd more to submit...

Excellent grades, Jason. That '56 QDR is a really nice variety, I've only owned circulated ones and it's still impressive even when worn. I need to look up that '63 again - the biggest DDR I remember from that era is the 1962 10-R-II, which didn't make it into the CPG. How does the spread on the '63 compare?

The 63 has nice tripling on EPU and is closely comparable to Die 10 on the 62. The neat thing about this one is James has never been able to examine one for the CONECA files so I'm going to send it to him for photos.

This is also the first 56 in BU that I have owned. It certainly does have a nice spread. The 56 and 63 both I picked up from the same seller for $100 total. I thought that was a heck of a steal. Both seem to be pretty scarce dies in higher grades...

Why SEGS?

SEGS actually did not slab one of your coins? Wow

jtwax

SEGS did not slab one of my coins because it was not an OMM, nothing wrong with the coin, just not an OMM. I would not have wanted it slabbed unless it was so kudos to them on that.

I pick SEGS becuase...

~ I favor thier holders - top lable reading capabilities and an overall super nice holder - best in the industry IMO.

~ Their step count grading system is superior, noting all flaws such as ticks, nicks, bridges, or cuts. You get a FULL step count not just a "FS" or no "FS" designation.

~ They will attribute the varieties (PCGS nor NGC will not).

~ I recieve a special discounted price being a FSNC member.

~ I collect only BU Jeff varieties of which my entire collection of over 400 are mostly all SEGS slabbed.

~ I like to support numismatists that are "brothers" in the variety aspect of collecting (Briggs, Oxman, Greer, and Fivaz)

...I am not interested in registries or the likes. I am not interested in resale values either. It is simply the way I collect...

hey JT

so you're a collector who walks to the beat of a Different Drum and cares enough to hum the tune for us!!! i'd say that's a pretty fair deal.

Can't argue this point.
