Uh oh, looks like another sms coin in a non-sms holder.

1967 nickel

Edited to say, I guess it's really pop 1 or pop 0 in ms67. There's a whole bunch of mislabeled proof S Lincolns too. A newly listed ms68 70-s sd in the pop report has to be a proof, the ms68 71-s too. Clackamas owns the ms69 68-s nickel, really a proof.

    See the price realized, $1450 before juice. The price guide says $50 for an ms67 SMS. The coin looks just like the other 1966 and 1967's auctioned which were all sms.

    Did either of you contact Teletrade or do you just whine on the forums about stuff?

    Dang it Flying Eagle! What's up? This Forum was almost put to sleep once. We need more threads from
    members like LR & Roger. They are very knowledgable and highly regarded here. I didn't detect any
    whining until your reply was introduced. Think before you type.

    Complaints about another venue on these forums are of no value. Other than whining here these people took no action to stop this sale and fix the problem. Wasted thread of fluff.

    I was the winner of this Teletrade 1967 PCGS Jefferson

    Other than the price, doesn't the coin featured in this thread (at $1,400.) and mine (at $33.) appear the same?

    Yes, but yours is in better condition too. I'm hoping all those nicks in the picture on the OP's link are on the slab, not the coin. I'm not sure how that is MS67 otherwise.

    FE is right, I'm mainly just whining.

    Contacting Teletrade is a good idea though, although I assume the cataloguer or whoever else saw the coin would have to have already known it is an sms. (Or maybe I shouldn't assume that?)

    So is the buyer (and underbidder) that misinformed that they think pcgs is always correct on these? Or do they just really not care, and only want the registry points?

    And gosh Pandavab is right, even if that was a business strike, no way is that an ms67! I have nicer quality just graded ms65's for sale.

    I wonder if PCGS' guarantee has a provision to make the (naive) buyer whole in these situations. image

    Actually, I'm not really wondering at all. image
