My turn for "Is this the same coin" using two Jefferson Nickels.

I'm uncertain either way, so I thought I'd post the pictures here for a comparison and opinions from other members. The strike looks quite similar to me with the surfaces appearing to be somewhat different, but the lighting isn't the same. I guess the reason for my curiosity is because of the tone which, when taking into account the different lighting, is strikingly similar. For the masses, the top coin sold back in September for $100 in an NGC PF67 holder, the bottom coin this past Monday in a PCGS PR66 holder for $90.

    Not the same. The jaw looks cleaner on the first one, and there's a small spot on the shoulder of the second one, that isn't on #1...

    Looks like two different Jeffys to me also.
    The bottom coin has a very small mark on the top of the Jefferson's coat collar, the top coin doesn't have this mark.

    Unless you know something I dont I'm going to say no. Small tick on lapel in PCGS not present in NGC. Carbon spot already mentioned by another poster.

    Looks like two different coins.
    The bottom one has a spot on the shouder and behind the head.
    theres also a spot between the R and U in trust on the bottom one.

    Similar toning, but the marks don't match up at all, so I'm going to say they're different coins.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Not the same, but they would both qualify for a sticker in my book.
