1940-S Jefferson Nickel -- GRADE POSTED

[brg5658]

Give this one a shot, it is in an NGC holder. It is for sure not FS, so just guess the numeric (technical) grade. Comments and discussion welcome!

Call me nuts but.... MS-67 !

[coinman_23885]

67 no FS

[jayman1970]

66,very nice looking coin

[zvandehey-migration]

Looks like a really nice MS-67, great coin

[Bruceswar]

MS 66

[yonico]

MS66+

[HiHoAudio]

Deserves an MS67.

[JStull]

If the gouges on the middle columns didn't effect the grade, I'd say 66/67.

 

If they did effect the grade, 64.

I'm staking out ms 65 just because the hit is in the most obvious area.

WARNING: "Hits" on highly magnified images appear worse than they really are.

 

Back to your regularly scheduled programming...

I think the hit on the Rev takes the coin from 67 to 66.

ok, ill go ms 65+ maybe theres a 66 in there

[Kurtdog]

I'm feeling a little faint on this one, but I'm sure it's just the altitude, as I'm up to MS67 on this one, as well--lovely coin!

[Al21-migration]

Very nice....I'll guess MS67

Here it is together with it's holder label. Thanks for all the guesses.

It's a very nice coin. Also, you might want to ask Condor, but I believe that this particular slab is scarce. My understanding is that NGC used he "W" and the "T" designations for a short period of time, and that there are relatively few coins out there with the "T" designation especially.

I am aware, but thanks Kenny.

 

The holder is the NGC Gen 8 holder, used for about 4 weeks in Sep/Aug 2000.

 

The "W" and "T" designations were used for about 2.5 years. The exact quantity of coins slabbed during that time that received the designations is unclear, but Lehigh recently wrote up a nice post over on CT that you can read if you want more details on the "W" and "T" designations from NGC: Link here.
