If by chance you do, submit it and perhaps you'll double the current number of 66FS coins from 1 to 2. Granted only 29 have been submitted but the majority of coins graded are 65FS from both mints.
I would have to guess that the folks doing these submissions are registry players or speculators which tells me that they are prescreening these very carefully. This tells me that what you are seeing in the pops are the best that folks can find.
The reality is that 2008 really sucks for nickels especially from the Denver Mint!
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Oh, and I've said it before... ever since they took away the mint sets and made them satin finished coins, the top pops MS67FS coins have vanished. Don't ever think the pops will be anywhere near a pop of 10 high grade coins again as long as no old syle mint sets are made... those days are over.

No you don't, you just think you do.
