Well is does look more like a business struck Jefferson rather than one for a SMS...but then again, I've seen some rather poor examples of SMS Jefferson's
at first I was thinking lower because usually I associate field orange peel with bad die erosion, but there is so much detail on the devices and distinct lettering
Ok the one's I sent in are from a old hoard of roll from the 60's I did look at many rolls and none of them looked as nice as the ones I sent in. It took years to get the two rolls from this old time collector. This was the only two roll from that year. Most of the one's I see are not very nice. I cant pull up the pop but last I looked it was 34 or so in MS66 with one or two in MS-67. The dies that they used where from the SMS and where bernt out by the time they went to the next station for the MS coins that is what they say I cant say it is true. But looking at alot of rolls this is the way most of them looked and thay are the nicer one's here are some pic of them.
But prices and pops are based on those 2-3 bulk submissions which is true for many dates in the Jefferson nickel series. I disagree with how rarities are made by such methods, a submitter trying to get that big pop one. It's got to get costly doing so but such methods don't reflect the true rarity of any date in a series.

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
how about either educating me or altering the definition of "tough" with this example?
i would remind you that you have defined "tough" in this example and the respondents have simply suggested that you need to spend some time searching coins from the series before you call into question the results of their experience in doing that.

Then I will say the submitter got lucky and it garnered a 65.

a tough coin in that condition
because you wouldn't have asked that if you have
And you will see alot of ramps for the steps.

This is one of the big secrets how pop numbers are made but I won't go into all that.
Nice coin. Even shows some step detail.

My Jefferson Nickel Collection
and found some nice ones that they sent in
and got some 67's, some 68's and a 69
those are tough as well
REALONE, you should buy a few hundred rolls of BU half dimes, search them all
and maybe you could hit paydirt - and own most the top pops in one of the issues
