Saw this on Ebay. It appears to be a very nice coin for a 53. The steps are solid, although there is some weakness in the building.

    So what is a coin that is weak in the steps, but solid in the building worth?

    I think this coin was sold earlier this year in auction. I remember the two big hits one by Jefferson's nose and the other right above the steps.

    I hope it sells for $7000! image

    The top 5 steps need to be full without significant hits.

    Are you ever going to post a picture of your 1953?

    Here are my photos of the coin.

    Steve Wells told me the coin used to belong to the Sistis.

    Here's a 3rd example of the 1953 ANACS MS65 5 steps. You can view a 4th by looking up nickelcollector's coin in his registry set. I've seen 3 of these coins, I elaborate on them later this evening.

    Yes it is but it's not as nice as yours! How's that for elaborating!

    There's a 4th PCGS MS65FS in the Heritage archives. A 5th resides in JHF's collection so where's the 6th PCGS certified example and who has the coin from Heritage? And yet, there's one up for grabs on ebay.
