1967 US Jefferson Nickel Grade?

the coin appears to be AU so better photos are not going to help as the coin is a spender however finding a 60 yr old coin in circulation in this condtion is pretty good.

better pics needed.

to the CCF

I can't see the surfaces in those photos so no grade estimate possible.

Thank you for your feedback.

Does your statement "the coin is a spender" mean it isn't worth the time and effort to staple it into a flip? Not worth saving for the future?

I guess I might be saving a lot of spenders...

I wasn't planning on sending it off to be graded or anything like that but I thought it was worthy of saving for future consideration.

I can pop it out of the flip and follow up with some better quality pics after I get my DSLR set up for macro photos. These were from a cell phone - hence the grainy appearance and poor lighting.

To be continued...

sherwood315 the chances you will find any coin in circulation that has enough value to warrant grading is nil. if you have a question or concern about a coin, just post it here.


two reasons to slab

1. its a rare coin that needs authenticated and preserved
2. you are planning on selling the coin and the cost of acquisition plus the grading fee's would warrant it without chewing up all your profit

consider the following for having a coin professionally graded

PCGS charges a minimum of $69 for a subscription other subscription levels include grading vouchers though so you could reduce these costs. add to the subscription cost, per coin grading cost which I think for this one might be $23, shipping & ins both ways (1-4 coins is $27 if the total value is under $1000)
i don't slab coins for these reasons especially the cost involved. I don't know why this is so popular today. just making the grading companies wealthy

NGC - $40 for grading, plus $10 for their submission fee, plus $25 for Membership, plus $28 for return shipping.

ANACS grading would be $16 but there's a 5 coin minimum. Shipping would be $29-35.

Are these better photos?
I'm still working on taking macro shots. Instead of cell phone I'm using my Nikon D90 with macro filter lens tweaking the settings and lighting.

Based on comparing to the PCGS photograde pages I'm going to guess around FV35.

Not horrible. Would be a good album hole filler until better comes along.
