I think this one might be a loss on value vs price paid depending on what you all think of grade. Edited by captainkurt 02/03/2022 3:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 02/03/2022 6:01 pm Tough to see the dings, phone photo? They're often compressed in a way that blurs coin surfaces, so the grade is only an estimate, from MS-64 to MS-67. I would call it 5 full steps, not 6. The 1940-S is tough in 6 full steps, and though I collect FS I don't have one. Report this Post to the Staff
captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 02/03/2022 6:09 pm I was not taking my time and rushed a bit. Only picked up a couple coins to test out their Jefferson's and pricing. This one only said 'steps' which should have been a red flag from the start but the magnifier looked ok. I thought it was MS65 and possibly ms66. Leaning toward ms66 as the strike is very strong and the surfaces look as good as the phone photos show. At $18 it was worth the gamble. It is definitely not a full step tho. Edited by captainkurt 02/03/2022 6:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 02/03/2022 6:28 pm Now I see that's a 40-D rather than 40-S. FWIW, I do have a 40-D in 6 FS, which means they're not super expensive. If yours turns out MS-66, non full step, IMO the $18 price was not a rip off. Report this Post to the Staff
