Hello friends! Going through my Jefferson nickel Album -- I know nothing about nickels. What are your thoughts on grades for these two? The 42-S has some really cool toning or something    The 50-D almost looks satin like... they've been in this album since 1960, my dad started this collection when he was younger.    |

These two are around similar condition to the others in the set ... the others are around the same or a little better I'd say.

A nice pair of Jeffs!
The 50D is an odd bird, with almost full steps but a very weak strike towards the center. The 42S is noticeably sharper but with more weakness in the steps.
My grades MS63 for the 50D and MS64+ for the 42S. They both have attractive original album toning (the "satiny" look and edge toning.)

I'm so shocked that you guys grade these this high. I would have never thought to be honest! Awesome learning here.

I agree the 1942 S warrants MS63. I am shocked with the consistent MS grades given the 1950 D. The lack of definition on Monticello seems to limit it to EF40 at best.
