Hello,
For last quarter I was looking around to decide which Jefferson nickel to send in for the Coin of the Quarter. 1938, Philadelphia? Denver? San Francisco? 1950-D? Yes, I eventually chose a 1938 Jefferson that I thought was a very solid 66FS and sent it in just before the deadline. The grade posted earlier this week and the coin arrived home today.

1 1 08210873 84000 1938 5C US MS67FS

The pop report say 5/0 so I assume this is number 6. I'll try to take some pictures this weekend. It has a light golden tone, minimal very light marks, and nice steps for a '38. Needless to say, I'm thrilled! image

    Let's hope you're right, I have a nice 1939-S type II with strong steps in right now on a quarterly freebie submission, the first time PCGS saw it they graded it AU58.

    Oh... and coolkarma, congrats on the 67FS!

    Hello,

    Thanks for the comments and compliments. Well, my first images were awful and these are only slightly better (I've forgotten the settings I used to use). The coin actually is a light golden color, but the bulbs I use seem to make it golden brown. This also is about as "close up" as I can get so I can't get a very good image of the steps. Suggestions for improvements always appreciated. Enjoy image

    And Idocoins, although I'm not quite sure what I'll do or how, yes, the coin likely will be for sale. I purchased it when I was considering forming a full step Jefferson set. However, I decided I wanted/needed to focus on my Buffalos. Ideally I'd like to trade for a '26-s Buffalo, but I realize that is unlikely. We'll see.
