After I sold my 50-D Jefferson, I was looking for another to fill its spot in my Type Collection, and this 1954-S kinda grabbed my attention. Do you wish to play Guess The Grade?

Sure, I’ll play. Looks softly struck, with a few hits. MS63
Put me down for 66.
65

64+
The 54-s is underwhelming in terms of being a quality product to represent the Jefferson series. However, given the look of the fields, I suspect it graded 65. I submitted a 54-s to PCGS years ago and it graded 66.

0.0 steps, but sill a nice MS66, maybe even MS67.
NO way MS67.
65
Looks like the steps became a ramp for Jefferson's elderly days. I'll guess 65.

Any opinions on what’s going on above N and T in Monticello?
Almost looks like a couple of extra steps?
MS 66
I wouldn’t describe that as a toner. Looks uniformly nickel-colored to me. I would want a much better strike for a type example but it’s clean so I would guess MS66.
LDS and a weak strike. I would suppose MS64.

i agree. not a fresh set of dies
65
Most of what I see on the cheek in planchet roughness that was not removed due to the weak strike. I’d call it MS66 shot MS67.
Looks like some clashing, which makes sense given the late die state. My grade is MS63, commercial/PCGGS market grade is MS66FS.

Are you joking about the FS or did you add that accidentally?
Well it was not on accident.
Yes I'm joking somewhat, however, I've seen some nickels that are graded FS that must have been graded by Stevie Wonder.

I don't know what caused that spot, but there's no fine detail like that on the opposing part of the obverse, so a die clash can be ruled out.

This thread prompt me to photograph the last of 4 coins I have found for this date in 36 years with a strong strike/details, high grade. But this example is what I think the upper grades should look like, IMO

I hope that your coin grades 67. Otherwise I see no reason to slab it given the strike, unless it’s a tough variety.
looks like it is a DDR left bottom of stairs.

No way MS65. Ask yourself this question: "Self, is this coin a gem (MS65)? Gem Jefferson nickel needs some steps. Period.
