Type2 · January 20, 2007 9:51AM

You may want to post some more pics of the other coins in that group before forking over the money for a submission. I don't think the coin you pictured is any better than a MS64, the obverse is not very well struck and the jawline is very flat, with many marks from the original planchet still visible.

The 1951-D is one of the better made nickels of the 1950s, with 200 examples certified at PCGS in Full Steps and another 250-plus non-FS examples grading MS66 or higher. So unless you think you have a full stepper or a 66, you're not even going to recoup the certification fees when it comes time to sell.

I was thinking the same thing...

MajorDuty · January 24, 2007 4:01PM

I like their color....

Here are two coins that have been recently seen by PCGS professional coin graders.
First coin has been graded twice in the last 2 months and has received the grades MS64, most recently MS65. The steps are well represented, being the strike is weak, IMO it's a MS64.

This 1951-S is lustrous and very prooflike with a very EDS strike but PCGS graded it a MS64. There are a couple of scratches in the hair. They are not located in the focal areas of the profile or fields.

After these results, I don't know what to suggest. If you just want to protect your coins, you could certainly find a cheaper way in doing so. Like someone said, your coins should either FS or grade MS66.

Type2, you would do well to heed the advice of posters to this thread unless you feel the need to enrich PCGS. going on the assumption that you chose what you felt was the best coin to post an image of, you should probably expect no better than MS64 for these with certainly no chance for a Full Step designation. with that said, why not spend the cost of one economy submission on a box of Whitman 2X2 hard plastic shells??? that will protect your coins and allow you to view them at your leisure with no chance of damage and very little chance of any change with regard to tone, a sad fact of these cheap poly bags and other stapled together flips.

if you're unable to locate the shells i spoke of either at a local shop or online store, just PM and i'll hook you up.

Nice, but as a classics guy, I prefer the old Jeffersons.

planetsteve · January 25, 2007 2:09AM

What are the requirements for FS designation? "5 steps?" Or all six? What if there are tiny hits in the steps?

BTW Type2, Intercept Shield plastic 2x2s are a good (and comparatively inexpensive) bet for keeping your nickels from toning further and getting banged up.

sinin1 · January 25, 2007 4:39AM

are they from mint set?

I doubt it - less than 9000 sets sold -
they were sold in green cardboard holders with 2 of each coin and mint

most likely they were taken from a roll by a dealer who made his own 2x2's
so they could type descriptions on them

cool coins, but you could buy lots more for the slabbing fees that you are considering

Cam40 · January 25, 2007 6:14AM

thats not the original lionel in the pic
btw, he just died recently
poor guy
he wasnt that old

TomB · January 25, 2007 6:28AM

The US Mint did not ship 1951 Mint Sets out with coins individually packaged in glycine baggies. Rather, the coins were sent out in approximately 4-inch by 6-inch cardboard pages with two of each denomination for each coin issued from a single mint on each page. These are either taken from bank rolls (most likely) or from broken apart US Mint Sets (much less likely).

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
