yung_bath_salts Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted 07/03/2020 1:28 pm Hello Coin Community, I sent this coin to NGC hoping for an FS Designation. This coin did not receive that grade. Can you all let me know why it did not? Should I try a different grading company? Thank you, Ryan Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19193 Posts	Posted 07/03/2020 4:46 pm Yes, just enough hits and nicks--no matter how gentle--have prevented a 5FS designation. Report this Post to the Staff

FullStepper New Member Brazil 25 Posts	Posted 07/16/2020 1:54 pm Obviously you have two exceptionally nice 1938D's having only one or two grades higher. Many collectors and investors would like these coins and based on how close they are to full steps don't mind mentioning how much more in value your coins are worth over the "MS" grade designation. At minimum you should be able to get 40-60% of the full step appraisal. They are just that good. I just posted on a nickel that has severe die cleaning. A perfect example where eye appeal carries a higher selling value than grade. Report this Post to the Staff
