1960-D JEFFERSON NICKEL NGC MS67: NGC Census: (12/0). PCGS Population (0/0) (8/2012).

Seller: E-Bay Seller: lpgoody1959

E-Bay Listing: 320949968509

Ended: August 21, 2012

Description:

Nickel grey surfaces with a full luster profile and an exceptional strike for the date/mm. Full hair detail, full details on Monticello, partial step detail, and minimal planchet flaws on the jaw and collar. Some light die polish lines are evident in the fields and there is no evidence of die wear which is indicative of and EDS coin. Some light marks are found on the focal areas of both sides.

Comments:

Given the strike and luster of this coin, it is understandable that NGC would assign the lofty MS67 grade. However, the marks on the focal areas would certainly limit the grade of this coin to MS66 in PCGS plastic. But it makes no difference if this is a low end MS67 in NGC plastic or a solid MS66 in PCGS plastic, it is certainly one of the finest preserved 1960-D Jefferson Nickels in existence.
