    I would be happy with an MS66. image

    I believe there was a pcgs '58p ms65FS on TT a while back for around $1000. But when I looked at the close up images it was no FS IMO.

    There must have been a time when PCGS was Step sloppy because I send in FS nickels I've examined under a microscope and they come back maybe 40% od the time as FS.

    I know I have a roll of 58 BUs around somewhere.

    The planchet quality was pretty poor this year so it is hard to find gem quality. The majority are about MS63-MS64. MS64FS coins are available, but MS65 and above coins are pretty scarce. Last time I checked the pop reports (about 2 years ago) there were about 8 MS65FS coins with none graded higher.

    I just checked my mint sets... all the 58P nickels are 63ish dogs. image

    I've been working on Jeffersons for a long time and have only acquired an MS64FS for my set. Current Pops on grades better is 17 in FS. I have never seen one of them yet! I would wager that a few of the MS64s and up are crackouts and regrades with the certs never turned in!

    Good luck and don't stop looking.

    I finally scraped up a MS65. I think I might have just missed that MS64FS.

    THANKS!!! I wish it were toned like that avatar of yours. Say, aren't you getting tired of owning such an awesome nickel? Isn't the stress starting to wear you down? Haven't you said to yourself one or twice, "I hate owning that awesome beautiful nickel"? I can feel your pain. Well maybe not but I rode a bus once with someone that could.

    Either way. Let me know, I have an answer to your dreadful and heinous nickel ownership problem. image

    Heck, it's starting to rust! image

    Here's the whole package for closer inspection, pcgs ms65 ...

    And the complement from the same set, pcgs says geniune; "questionable toning" but I know that's not true so it will go back at some point.
