I would guess MS67 on a good day, but both NGC and PCGS are so cowed by CAC now that I have no idea what they graded it, probably MS65!

Difficult to say from the small photos. I'd guess something like MS65 no FS, but like I said, it's hard to say.

I'm also going with MS65, 66 on a good day.

MS-66*

 

Steps not clear enough to judge that designation...but I like the Jefferson!

I have posted the coin again side by side a 1945 NGC MS67 example.

I can understand how this coin would grade MS66 and I wouldn't mind seeing it in a 67 holder. It has great luster, beautiful toning and eye appeal, and is not as clean as some of my 67 Jeffs but is on par with most of them. I strongly disagree with the assigned grade, this is not a 65 IMO.

That is an early numbered slab issued back when NGC graded very conservatively. It would have graded higher recently. However, both services are running scared with CAC around. I would not waste my money regrading it now.

Thanks for the tip OT3, but the simple truth is that I am just too damn lazy to resubmit the thing anyway. I don't care what the holder says, I love the coin and got it for $12.

I was gonna say 66, before you posted the pic. So I agree its undergraded!

[BankNote1]

Your coin looks at least as good as the MS67 you posted. I would think you would have a good chance that the Jeff. would up grade at least one point CAC or not..
