Taking 'Best Offers' on eBay: NGC MS67 1952-S Jefferson Nickel

Two days left.....................Recently graded as MS67 from a new/old never touched 1952-S double mint set. I am taking 'best offers' on eBay. NGC population on these is 16. I don't see that PCGS has any at all?

    Every NGC Jeff I've cracked out and sent to PCGS has come back one grade lower. A friend of mine is one for 20. We've decided there's a reason why.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Interestingly, this coin is back up for sale. After careful consideration, the coin has too many marks on Jefferson's profile and the strike appears less than full. If you do a search on MS67 NGC Jefferson nickels you will find quite a few 67's up on ebay.
    Furthermore, I did a some searching through the Heritage and teletrade past auctions on NGC graded Jefferson nickels and here are the results;

    I've been doing some research and comparisons with the number of Pcgs and Ngc certified coins (business strike nickels only, dating back to January 2000) that have sold through the Heritage and Teletrade (nickels only dating from 1938 to 1970)
    Here's the run down on coins sold, Pcgs verses Ngc through Heritage auctions since January 2000.
    .............Pcgs......Ngc
    MS67.......247......533........1006
    MS66......1000......536.......1012
    MS65........728.......33..........62
    MS64........111........8...........15
    Total.......2096....1110.......2096

    96% of Ngc coins that sold thru Heritage grade MS66 and MS67 while Pcgs has a 59% rating for the same two grades of coins.
    The percent of Pcgs coins that grade MS67 is only 12% compared to Ngc's 53%

    And here are the numbers for Pcgs and Ngc that sold through Teletrade in the last 360 days.
    ............Pcgs......%.........Ngc........%............
    MS67......177.....9.8.........378........39.2..........704
    MS66......722....40.2........442........45.9..........823
    MS65......643....36.8........118........12.2..........219
    MS64......226....12.6........ 22..........2.2............41
    MS63........26....,1.4...........3...........,.3............5.6
    Total......1794.................963........................1794

    NGC numbers indicate that 85% of their nickel slabs that sell through Teletrade grade MS66 and MS67 while the percent for for Pcgs is at 50%
    Ngc grades almost 4X (704/177) the number of MS67 coins than Pcgs.
    While Pcgs grades almost 3X (643/219) the number of MS65 coins than Ngc.
    While Pcgs grades almost 5.5X (226/41) the number of MS64 coins than Ngc.

    The last column of numbers show what Ngc would have graded/sold if their total
    numbers were equal to Pcgs.

    From the pictures you have provided in your auction, I would grade this coin a MS64. This is due to the marks I can see and the weak strike at the top of Jefferson's hair. This is my opinion in the way I collect this series. MS67 coins need to be markfree and fully struck.
