1942-S MS61 If only it was FS.

Oh, not mine but wouldn't you want to buy it just to get a closer look?

  • That looks like a PCGS china slab for a $40 coin shipped. How low can they go! image

    Is the rim buggered up around IGWT or is that the gasket?

    Might also be some water damage in the upper rev field but would they grade that?

    Not a bad mark on the coin from what I can see.

    And it's worth $8, not $44.

  • Thats a humorous grade for a Jefferson Nickel.
  • Lehigh96Lehigh96 Posts: 685 ✭✭✭
    Perhaps a silent net grade for reason not apparent in the photos.

    i suspect the coin has broken/impaired luster which is quite noticeable in-hand.

    Don't forget to add the $18.99 shipping.....sheesh.
