Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 11/06/2020 09:05 am Sharper pics would be beneficial. Typical reverse strike/die state , tentative Ms64 Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19148 Posts	Posted 11/06/2020 09:14 am Looks like a strike through pudding. Unless/until additional photos are posted, I'll go with MS62. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 11/06/2020 09:28 am Typical strike for a 1969 D. Absence of steps is as usual for this date and MM. It looks MS64 or maybe even 65 from what I can see. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18660 Posts	Posted 11/06/2020 10:45 am you are correct with your comment. one side is not enough. if that reverse was even a little sharper I think it would make MS65 but that strike is really poor. I'm going to just take one point for strike as the obverse and unbroken luster may bring it in at MS64 Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/06/2020 5:00 pm I'll say MS-63 tops. Report this Post to the Staff
shantiom Pillar of the Community United States 522 Posts	Posted 11/06/2020 5:11 pm I would say MS 62 (you are too kind!) , this year is so hard to find quality coins! When did the Jefferson nickels resolve the minting issues, there must be an issue with the design of the obverse and reverse not working together, any alloy issues? I worked on early 60s proofs for Jeffies to identify varieties, but wow, what a brutal decade for the business strike coin...am I mistaken? Report this Post to the Staff
