1945-S Jefferson BU Gem (FS?


I came across a 1945-S Jefferson a couple years ago on ebay. Being in Raw State,,,,I was waiting for the curtain to fall on me,,,,,lol' .

This year had a very troubling time in the step area,,,that's why a true complete high grade in a San Francisco nickel,,,,would bring premium $


Studing this coin, before buying it,,,,I' really didn't feel to comfortable with the step area,, because it looked like there may be a break

in the continuity all the way across. However' even with that,,,I jumped on this coin, because of the (amazing quality of it).

Give me your judgement on this,,,,I was going to send it in,,,but held back all this time.

I'll try to photo these up for all to see, anyone who would like to give me your comment on it,feel welcome to.

    We're going to need larger, clearer photos of both sides, and a close up of the steps area to determine if they are full or not.

    wow, poor pics AND attitude!!image
  • jb4gpojb4gpo Posts: 67 ✭✭

    I'm sorry you feel that way about me, keets... I tried to get the best photos I could for everyone to see on here. I really don't have a bad attitude, actually

    I am in good spirts most of the time. But' It's people like you,that like to make others feel bad about how they do things. If it's not up to your satisfaction,

    you can't seem to wait to make them feel bad about themselves. I've noticed that about a few on here, that are that way. Tell ya' what bud, why don't you do

    both of us a favor' an' just not write me at all anymore,ok? Think you can do that? I'm hoping in time you might learn something about all this. goodbye!

    I think your putting the exclamation mark after the phrase "get over it" shows kind a snappy attitude which most folks do not appreciate. Heck, even the phase "get over it" was uncalled for in that someone with a "good" attitude would have simply stated "I did the best I could".

    -----Doesn't look to be fully struck, the pics aren't good enough to see the steps anyway.
    -----We're going to need larger, clearer photos of both sides, and a close up of the steps area to determine if they are full or not.

    Jim, i don't know you and you don't know me. i can say this much, though, if you need help here and reply as you have above it might be a long time in coming. you asked for comment, received very clear answers and got a little snippy; if that's not attitude i don't know what is. perhaps when you receive answers like what this thread has given you'll ask for assistance in either getting better pictures or "sizing" what you have. my time here has shown the members to be very helpful, but also quick to turn away from anyone who pushes when it isn't called for.

    have a nice day and best of luck with your nickel.

    First off, YOU came to us asking advice about a Jefferson being a FS or not and you provide poor scanned images of the coin in question and expect us to see the steps area clearly and say yes it is a FS.

    Second off, no one, and I repeat NO one is trying to make you feel bad, only pointing out that your images are too poor to judge the steps.

    Finally, I think we can ALL do you the favor of not writing you anymore. No problema!

    thank you,,,,image

    UNC Only?, Please tell me, are you and keets related? I see you've set
    aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.

    If you two don't have anything nice an intelligent to say to members on
    here,pls' give everyone a break, I've talked to a few on here already, they
    feel the same way on how you guys write back to others on this website.

    Sorry, but you asked for it! An' don't bother writing back, it'll just make you
    look less intelligent, than you are already -Try to have a nice day!

    Jim,

    Obviously need better pictures, but the coin looks to be pretty decent for a 45-S. If that is the price you paid you did ok, even if it is not an FS coin. You know a nice 45-S can run $200+ in MS65FS and climbs pretty quickly thereafter. On the flip side, an MS66 non-FS coin goes for $30 or so. It's up to you to roll the dice at Casino PCGS!

    there is an axiom which would seem to apply to this thread and some of the reaction from the OP: If you can't tolerate criticism you aren't worthy of praise.

    keets, you said it......your skin needs to be a little tougher around these parts!
  • keetskeets Posts: 25,351 ✭✭✭✭✭
    that's what is so absurd about the whole thing. had the OP responded to a reply such as "pics aren't good" by saying they were the best he could do and a request for help we'd probably have some much larger images to judge and the tenor of the discussion would be different. that scenario has unfolded here countless times just as what we currently have has done so.

    i know when i first joined i was forced to use the "Attachments" option and was stuck at 50kb max till members helped me out. among others, Airplanenut hosted my files with a sharing program for about two years until i moved to PhotoBucket where i am now. this forum and the members quite helpful. in hindsight, perhaps i should have suggested the OP open the PM function and addressed things privately, too late for that now. my assumption is that as a member for approximately one year(and lurking if i judge from his replies) he is aware of the PM function and has it closed for a specific reason.

    sometimes what we don't know tells us more than we do know.
