1950-D 5c Think it has a chance at 66?

I think the strike / Rev are going to hold it back, but I am thinking of sending it in anyway...

Thanks

I think it's 65 tops and I wouldn't send it in if I were you

Hits in the lower reverse fields hurt it. It's a nice Jefferson, but not 66 nice.

CoinDogs · May 10, 2012 9:46AM

strike is too weak

Shamika · May 10, 2012 9:47AM

By the way, I LOVE the color.

Hits on the reverse and weak detail on the reverse will keep it well below a 66 in my opinion.

Its interesting how much photos can affect the grade a coin appears to be, I am sure that that 65 looks better in hand.

Thank you for the feedback thus far.

Two wrongs dont make a right. If thast coin gets graded 66 I will lose what little faith I have left in TPG.

PCGS MS-66 full steps...

Very nice coin, nice color, and solid for the grade of MS65.

Pretty but 64

coinbuf · May 10, 2012 12:35PM

I cannot beleive that anyone really thinks that this coin will go higher than 64?? I dont collect Jeffs per sey but that rev is super weak and I see no way it could go above 63 myself. PCGS is almost always a stickler for a full strike before giving grades of 65 and up, I say almost always as there is always an exception

. Not hating just being honest.

PCGS MS65.

Full steps.

The over-all stike is just a tad to weak for it to be 66 material, never know about these things though, never know.

Justlooking · May 10, 2012 2:53PM

I'd give it a 65, but great toning!

Lehigh96 · May 10, 2012 6:22PM

I don't think the weak strike would prevent an MS66 grade. Unfortunately there are just too many small marks which will limit the grade to MS65 despite what seems to be outstanding luster and eye appeal.

@mingot, thanks for showing the poster child for why full steps is meaningless with regards to overall strike. I guess it makes sense that die fatigue would affect the deepest recesses of the die last.

No, IMO

I think MS64

kryptonitecomics · May 11, 2012 1:37AM

Looks like a 65 to me...

roadrunner · May 11, 2012 5:59AM

Maxed as a 65...........and wouldn't be surprised if it graded 64.
