Jefferson - Grade Opinions??

19Lyds

Picked this up at the Sacramento Show today.



Care to guess its grade?

And yes, the price was very right..............

STONE

MS-65? (no FS)

smokincoin

MS64 (not FS)

edited cause I failed to mention: the obverse is a 65 and the reverse is a 63 = MS64 (not FS)

ricko

MS63... anything over is either an overgrade or the picture is misleading. Cheers, RickO

Sorry my friend! The reverse, to me, did it in. The columns are gone!

Omaha hoard MS66FS.

But ms65 if one of us send it in on a good day.

cmerlo1

65FS (I know it really isn't FS, but I'll bet it says that on the holder)

smokincoin

"Monticello" almost looks doubled. OK I give up!

Tyler1924S

I would grade it MS63
If that's NGC, on a Jefferson, could be as high as 66
ANACS, should be 63
Looks like 5 steps.

Edscoin

If it's ngc - 66 non FS
If it's PCGS - 65 FS

Edited to add I would grade it 64 Non FS

tightbudget

64 no FS

Check out this one on Teletrade.

Teletrade PCGS 1950D MS65

centmaster

PCGS seems to be very liberal on 50D's since the spread is so small between 63, 64 and 65. They're liberal w/ regard to steps as well for the same reason. If this coin were any other date, it would grade 63 or 64 with no steps.

Like I said, tough crowd!



BTW, the columns are there and any obverse scratches are on the plastic. The coin has some amazing luster with a rich golden tone about it.

Almost got it.

I'd say AU 58. Nicks on chin an cheek. Scratches through hair and on collar. --Now I see I was way off.

Edscoin

Thats why I stoped buying PCGS Jefferson's.

larrynj

what edscoins said.

jmj3esq

That thing is waaaay overgraded and in no way is it FS. MS65 at best. Sorry.

Count your blessings.....

I think I'd send it back for the "grade guarantee", Sorry but the must have been sleeping that day.

Type2

I dont know hear are some I sent in all back in MS-65 no full step.

Type 2: Those Jeffs look to have 5 steps so should have gotten the PCGS designation. The '50-D in the original post looks to have 4 and 3/4 steps so isn't FS from what I can see. It is also a late die state. I can't see the luster in the photo so I would have given it a 65 or so - it sounds like it looks better in hand.

mirabela

Geez, how can I get them to grade my nickels like that? I've got a 49-S and a 50(P) here that I regard as "near miss" coins, but I'd be about $2K richer if I could get them onto the desk of the same guy who graded your 50-D.

Judging from the pics, I wouldve passed on this one

BigDowgie

I guess there is a market for folks who buy the plastic, eh!

my original thought was MS65 non FS and a late die state to boot. as others have said, encapsulted coins like this are the reason i chose to sell my Mint State collection and focus on DCAM and toned Proof Jefferson Nickels. i still search for raw Mint State coins but have grown tired of the prices for the true Full Step examples in grades MS65 and above.
