I thought these were all solid MS65 full steppers, with the '39-S and '53-D the best of the batch. My comments in bold:
LINE # CERT # COIN DATE DENOMINATION VARIETY COUNTRY GRADE
1 2175#### 1939-S 5C Reverse of 1940 USA AU58 *choke* *gasp* Oh no! Marty, move over! Can't wait to see what I missed here
2 2175#### 1951-S 5C USA MS64FS Not bad. Happy it went FS, not thrilled with the 64
3 2175#### 1952-D 5C USA MS65FS This is more like it. Pretty tough date for FS. Pop 36, with 21 more in 66FS
4 2175#### 1953-D 5C USA MS65FS
Whoo hoo! The grading gods giveth and they taketh away. The easiest of the '53 nickels in FS, but still a tough coin. Pop 54 with only 9 higher.

Silver lining: The grades were posted one day late, so I should be in line for one free submission. It's almost like I'm getting a mulligan for Line 1.
This was probably the last batch of PCGS-worthy material from my raw set of full-step nickels, assembled over ten years ago, unless I get bold and submit some moderns. All in all my set held up pretty well by current standards - they key to that statement being knowing when to stop sending them in. Based on Line 1, I think I'm there.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

<< <i>Why did you blank out the cert? Do you think that someone will hijack one of your 65FS Jeffs for their registry? >>
Uhmmm... sure, that's why.
If you want to see them, I can put them back. Heck, the submission is on the Big Board already anyway, you can go look at them for yourself.
BTW, I'm trying to value these guys - do you believe Teletrade hasn't auctioned off a '52-D in PCGS 65FS since July of 2003? or a '53-D in PCGS 65FS since January of 2003? I'm really surprised - and off to eBay and Heritage next.

It's always a good sign when you make a coin that doesn't come up for sale very often.

I hafta admit I'm a little disappointed no one has either (1) teased me for the AU58 or (2) told me I suck. Here I was hoping I'd gain entry into both of Mad Marty's exclusive clubs with one submission. If it helps with (2), I just looked up my original cost on the '53-D - I paid 85 cents for it.
