Yes, it looks like both the grade and FS designation are pretty generous—hopefully it looks clear cut in hand. If you confirm it to be FS and consign it to auction, make sure the auction house gets good closeup pics of the steps. I don't think I would try to cross it over to PCGS.

Okay thanks everyone for the advice. It seems pretty obvious from the comments I better not try to cross it over and leave it as it is.

Very surprised at how high priced these FS designation slab cost once it reach certain MS level, but more surprised with NGC graded example on ebay. |

I'm thankful for many things, among them not giving a hoot about full steps on Jefferson nickels.  Edited by Coinfrog

You may very well be the only person
In the entire world who would spend that kind of money
On a coin like the one listed .Profit potential.nil!
The grade and FS definition, incredibly generous .
Modern grade rarities are a very very tough sell .
IMHO send it back and spend the money on
some Classic Rarities.

Well, I
I do have a large collection of nice raw and tough date full step Jeffersons. I've looked in vain for years for a 1965 full stepper. ( and a '66) it's crazy rare to actually find one, so I bought that one when I got an offer from the seller. Any coin is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. As there are only a total 6 slabbed by NGC and PGCS combined, I was absolutely willing to pay that for it. Who knows, the population of '65 FS may skyrocket over the next year . But for now I'm okay with the price.

 to CCF Good luck on a resell on this one, but a conversion to PCGS would not be advisable. |

Well from what I can see those steps look good...wondering what the first half of steps are like......however IMO NGC always grades a point or 2 higher than PCGS. That's why when I buy slabbed coins I stick to PCGS, again JMHO.

Nice coin. I would keep it in the NGC holder. It may cross to PCGS but who knows for sure. I know one thing about the grading companies. I have been sending my coins now to CACG because they are brutal in grading. When you get a coin graded by them, wow that coin is beautiful in that grade. CACG would grade this a ms 63 or 64 possibly. I am always now looking to buy coins graded by CACG because I think in the future people will be going for coins graded by them. This is only my opinion. Your coin is nice.

Yes the coin was just as nice as I could have hoped for. I was surprised considering what I paid for it based on the Greysheet. I went to a PCGS onsite grading show in Dallas this week and a dealer told me to get it crossed over. He felt it would cross at the same grade. I'd get it back the next day. Cost $150. I decided just to leave it in the NGC holder. I did drop off some other raw error nickels but they never told me they don't attribute varieties at shows. I just got slabbed basic grades. They apparently don't even designate full steps at the shows. Just something to be aware of if anyone ever goes to a PCGS onsite grading show.
