    Too easy. Perhaps you should block out the Cert. #.

    Edited to add I cheated and looked it up so I won't guess. But I will say NICE steps.

    Better not be a 67FS...or 66FS! So this leaves us with 65FS and then I would respectfully pass on ownership. Sorry, but the strike is too weak for my particular taste.

    Windows, what windows?

    With such a weak strike, can't hazard a guess :(

    I thought it might make 63. Maybe I better stay away from nickels.

    Edited to add....Hmmm, yes, I'll stay out of nickels

    Strong steps with a strike that weak looks odd. Edit to add looked it up and I was close but still wrong.

    Mechanical error? I agree about the soft strike (funny that it still has FS) but it’s so clean I would have guessed 65FS or 66FS.

    Certainly a mechanical error.

    I can remember when I was a young collector (maybe ~12) the 50D was one of the coins I wanted. (But really couldn't afford.) I don't collect Jefferson's anymore but I do have/keep a 50D in 66. (For the memories I guess)

    No, it is not a coin (date/mm/strike) they accept.

    That is late die state with die erosion seen with rough outer fields and mushy letters.
    It is also BU as seen by lack of rub on porch roof over the 4 columns on the reverse (I could see a 63 or 64)

    The submitter had 8 1950-D's and I suspect they were disappointed with the results.

    Looks like a 64 to me. Horribly weak strike, no luster, looks like it’s got some sort of funk on it.
    Steps are sharp but not all there.
