    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    I voted NGC 67 5FS.

    If it's a 66, it's a super high end 66.

    Sell me a coin or three!

    Given this is NGC, I'll go MS67FS.

    Oh yes, very nice coin by-the-way!

    I guessed 67 FS; but may have guessed 68 if the option was given.
  • crazyhounddogcrazyhounddog Posts: 13,979 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I've gotta say a big fat 67 fs all the way. I just went through about 3 rolls of this date and didn't see ANYTHING even close to your piece. Just an amazng Jefferson you have there bud!!

    I really don't know what is keeping this coin out of a 5FS holder.

    I "think" NGC is as tough on FS Jeffersons as they are on FBL Franklins, anyone?

    I think NGC is pretty forgiving in handing out FS designations in my opinion. Nevertheless, I don't know why this coin didn't make it into a 5FS holder

    It appears there is an interuption of the steps under the second column. Correctly graded in my opinion. Have seen worse steps than this make it into holders. Beautiful example
    of a 56. Great strike!! Shag

    WOW! Non-FS! I find NCG to be quite liberal with the FS desigantion. No matter, the qualities of this coin are far superior than the coins I've encountered and yes, even the top piece in my set! Has Leon sent you an offer yet?
  • PCcoinsPCcoins Posts: 3,354 ✭✭✭
    Dang I'm good, guessed ngc67

    The bottom step isn't completely seperated and there's a few ticks here and there. IMO it's not a true FS coin, but I've seen worse in FS holders? That's why I've never paid the high premiums when you can get a coin like you got that's so close to FS it doesn't matter if it says it on the plastic or not.
