Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 01/01/2012 12:58 pm I think this is close to a MS66. What do y'all think? Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

mitchhailey Pillar of the Community United States 1150 Posts	Posted 01/01/2012 5:35 pm I would lean more towards 64 on this one...very nice coin, indeed. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/02/2012 12:43 am It would need an excellent strike and strong luster to make 66. This one doesn't appear to be a 66 in the pics. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 4:20 pm From the photos I'd say MS64, but silver Jefferson nickels are tough to judge from a static photo. The strike is not strong enough to make a 66 grade IMO. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 4:53 pm The 43-S has several superbly struck pieces that aren't all too rare. I hate to be an even bigger downer than the others, but I'd go all the way to MS-63. I see nothing choice about this nickel at all. The obverse is better than the reverse. Every single aspect of Monticello looks poor in this example. I also think I see some slight marks on the cheek as well as across the columns. The pics might be hurting it and I could easily be a 64, maybe even a 65....but I see no way this coin moves into "GEM" consideration with a 66. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15411 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 5:20 pm I think it is a beautiful coin and a great reminder of the WWII struggles of the USA. Hoping you are pleased with it ... and accept our comments in the spirit by which they are offered ... you asked so we opine. Alas I tend to agree with the replies above ... I'm thinking maybe MS64 with mushy details ... this is not a very well struck 1943-S Jefferson ... and the 'softer' war silver alloy provided for sufficient great strike examples of all 11 war silver coins. The bag hits and (to me) distracting toning also hold it back in technical grade ... I pulled out my PCGS MS67FS 1943-S example to help calibrate my eye ... and there is absolutely no comparison between the two. Nice coin ... but I'm suggesting MS64.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 9:46 pm I have to agree with the responses, this would probably be close to a MS-64 but no where near a MS-66. Once you get MS-65 and above the grading starts to get very strict and not very many coins that were created for circulation will grade that high, especially not classics Report this Post to the Staff
