I picked up some Nickels for my set today. This one is graded as a Satin Finish but it sure don't look much different than a regular strike.

I received this 39P REV of 38 yesterday. These coins are not the easiest to find and it makes it even tougher when they are misattributed.  This is my 3rd attempt at this coin. The first one I bought was a reverse of 40. The second one was correct as a REV of 38 but only graded as a 66. The 3rd coin turns out to be what I am pretty certain is a bad set of 40 steps. Finding the right coin is starting to become a headache. Doesn’t look like 38 steps to me but I could be wrong. What do you think? **EDIT** I went ahead and posted this in the newbie forum as well. Not sure how much traffic I would get buried here at the end of this thread.

@Lem E:

I got a big kick out of your line, "but only graded as a 66."  Well, exc-u-u-u-se me! And, to show you how clueless I can sometimes get, I saw your references to "40 steps" and "39 steps," and thought, even Low Library at Columbia U. and the U.S.S.Ct. in Washington, D.C. don't have that many steps, and I know he's not talking about that Hitchcock movie, "The 39 Steps."    (Sorry 'bout that errant tomahawk gash on the first column.) All things considered, a very fine coin with a very respectable, stellar grade!

 Not trying to be that way. I actually think my 66 is a nicer coin than this 67.

I understand perfectly. Before I ever heard of market vs. technical grading, I knew irrespective of grade, a lustrous gem with original mint luster was more desirable (to me) than a piece without it coming in one grade higher.

Yup, a piece like that would have been right up Henning's alley.

You're laughing Quintus Arrius but you don't know what you're laughing at.  You don't know why I'm putting that period there, do you?
