It's a really deep strike and I thought maybe it could have some doubling. Need help pleasee! In process of getting a picture of inside the rim to show the depth of the strike Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 06/28/2015 08:45 am but this otherwise looks normal to me. Proof luster makes picture taking difficult, but play with the lighting and things will improve. Also, make sure you are anchored to a solid object with the camera phone. Steadiest shots bring out the details you wish examined. Good luck. Report this Post to the Staff
denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 06/28/2015 12:24 pm The question of grading a coin gets asked a lot. I think there are 3 major reasons that you would grade a coin. To add value - would grading this coin, enhance it's value beyond the cost of the grading fees? I don't think so. To authenticate a rare or collectible coin for piece of mind/ future resale . This coin is neither rare, exceedingly collectible or commonly counterfeited To attribute a variety or a valuable error. Since no double dies have ever be attributed to this year, more than likely, upon closer inspection, any doubling will be Machine Doubling, which is common and adds no value to the coin.

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 06/28/2015 2:02 pm Doubling issue is hampered by glare. Hard to tell for sure. Worth grading I'll leave to the nickel experts. That said when I see nickel and grade mentioned in the same sentence I think show me the steps, show me the steps. And bang the last pic shows steps. I read full steps are harder to find on early Jefferson's and command a higher premium. So may be worth holding onto for now. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
