The first set I ever completed was a set of silver Jefferson Nickels. I ended up selling most of them to purchase some of my Walking Liberty short set. But I kept a couple, including this one. I like the gentle original color and the lack of marks. I would love to hear what you guys think it graded.

    I would say 66 not full step.

    I don't see any reason that it couldn't be a 66.

    Nice color.

    Very, very nice. No FS, of course, but I'd say strong and very attractive 66 ... so 66+

    My first thought was also 66 without FS.

    I collect world proof sets, coins featuring composers, mid-20th century U.S. proof coins, U.S. type coins, and whatever else I want.

    There are a couple good size nicks that I thought would keep it from 67. One is in the hair and another on reverse on one of the pillars.

    I could see that being the case. Part of my abandoning the Jefferson series (at least in the very high grades) was my struggle to grade them. Even the higher graded pieces I see I feel have more marks than they should to merit their grade.

    Thanks again.

    I think the toning may have got it over. There's superb eye-movement through that coin. I think it would even CAC at 67.

    This doesn't surprise me. I felt like it had a reasonable shot at 67 (I guessed 66+), but I wasn't convinced. Like you mentioned, I also have a hard time the determining the Superb Gem's for this series, especially from images.

    Great looking example!

    Thanks. If CAC took war nickels I would have considered sending it in a while ago.
