einstem Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 5:50 pm I'm working on my Roosevelt collection and have been looking for a nice condition 1943/2 Roosevelt Nickle to fill a "hole" in my CAPS album, and recently found this listing on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1943-2-Jef...272742634167 But I am a bit surprised at this being listed as a "MS63" coin given the condition shown in the photos: I'm still a bit of newbie, but looking at my handy "PCGS Photograding App" that shows nice photos of all the grades, this looks to be between a "VF20" and a "VF30" given that I can make out a bit of detail in the hair and the and on the reverse can just make-out 3 pillars and a tiny bit of the top triangle of Monticello. And that is probably being "generous" given how dirty the coin is. But no way this could be a MS63? I wouldn't buy this coin based on its condition and price, but is this perhaps a "scam" and someone swapped the coin in the holder for something else? Regards, Michael Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 7:15 pm Certainly Mint State. Don't know where you got VF from... Looks fine to me, although the toning makes for slightly worse eye appeal than other Jefferson nickels graded 63. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 7:37 pm Unfortunately that is not the right coin in th holder. It is not a MS coin at all, the wear on the reverse shows an VF at best. Then, there is no OVD. Nor is there any way to confirm if it is the correct coin: http://www.anacs.com/Populations/Ce...kieSupport=1 RUN FORREST RUN!

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 8:53 pm The obverse shows MS. The reverse photo is so bad with thick toning that it's impossible to judge that reverse. ANACS professional grader with the coin in hand under optimum viewing potential versus terrible photos. If your betting on the terrible photos, good luck with your own purchases.
