1950 D Jefferson

I got this last year from Spy88 who kind of retired from coins. Too bad, he was/is a cool guy.

Nice looking nickel Victor.

Thanks, Bruce. These pics came out decent although I failed to capture the 9:00 rainbow on the obverse.

[Bruceswar]

the main thing is you are trying and your pics will get better... and then you will have some great pics

PCGS MS66 FS

 

• So, was this envelope toned?
   
  
• Does the registry give exta points for Full Steps?

[*]Does the registry give exta points for Full Steps?

 

and so the High Grade Registry Syndrome begins. Next he'll be dipping his toners to get an upgrade

Check it for full steps with the following diagram.

 

I can't see the steps from your pic.

if the coin cam from Spy88 ... I am 100% positive it is FS... he was an abid collector of full step jeffersons

Are you taking ESL from Michael, or was it just a few nightcaps?

No, album toned. Looks like W-R or Dansco album toning. '50-D nickels can take on some great colors - like yours!

 

Yes, extra points are given for FS. All PCGS holdered coins that are FS are considered 5FS. Only NGC (and ANACS) give a 6FS attribution, and they get extra points in the registry. BFD, right? Finding high grade, EDS, fetching, and well struck Jeffs is the real challenge. BTW, 6FS '50-Ds are quite uncommon.

[Bruceswar]

Nope. Just a late night.

[EZ_E]

Thanks for the info, Hoot. Just what I was looking for.

 

p.s. Touche, Travis.

Just being nosey but how much did it cost?

[Hoot]

BTW, Victor, there are also a lot of roll toned 50-Ds out there. Typically, their toning is less regular and can take on some interesting patterns. Here's my 50-D that I believe is roll toned (although I can't prove it, it looks like pieces I've seen taken out of original rolls).

Nice colors! This particular date was one of the last that I learned about it's strike problems. When you compare it to it's sister, the strike of the 1950-P, you'll begin to wonder what happen with to all the strikes of the coins surrounding this date.

I've seen EDS strikes of the 1949, 1951PDS but not the 50-D.

50-D EDS - Sold this one and have regretted it.

Guess I might as well post mine:

 

 

As to all you smarties,those aren't scratches or nose hairs...just fibers from my coin blankie.

Oh,here's another one:

Geez! I just entered this in yesterday and I just check and it warranted a mere 12 points in the registry set?!

 

 

How idiotic! A common, ho-hum modern proof dime warrants 81 points but this historic, high grade coin is 12 points? It doesn't make any damn sense to me.

 

But, then again, why do I really care? I could have care less 5 days ago.

 

I think that it is an evil NGC plot where they have influenced ours minds via the water sources and the hypnotic humming of the powerlines. "Participate, participate, participate. Be cool. Be #1. Registy, registry, registry....." Or, then again, maybe I'm just paranoid??

Yes he is. I was fortunate to have won some of his Jeffs on eBay. I wish him the best.

[paperchaser-migration]

Hmmmm, if this is an MS66 FS, I need to submit some of mine. Unless it's poor pictures or poor resolution on my screen, the steps above the "I" and "E" are

NOT full-step. The MS66, oh well who's to say from a picture.

just an opinion.

What's worst is the fact that a fully struck coin like the one Hoot posted will get the same amount of points for a coin with a weak strike. The discerning eye will change how these coins are collected and valued over the next 5 years.
