Population of 7 at MS65, with only 6 higher. I know that the 1942-D / Horizontal D is one of the most sought-after Jefferson nickel varieties, but that's still just remarkable to me.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 09/24/2024 11:53 am too much for my wallet. With the exception of 2 coins in my collection, my collection will never achieve a high value on each coin separately, now combined, it may be a different thing.. Collecting since 1972.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 09/24/2024 12:20 pm I assume that this had to be a registry set purchase. Sensible assumption or not? The part that I don't completely understand is the scratching and clawing that goes on for a single point change in grade (typically at MS65 vs. 66, or at MS66 vs. 67). From an overall points perspective, it seems much more efficient to focus on set completeness rather than individual coin point values. Adding a single new coin at AU 50 is 50x more valuable than advancing a single coin from MS65 to MS66. Isn't it? Or do I not properly understand the scoring system? The PCGS registry set scoring seems very different from NGC scoring, where the higher grades get proportionally more points. Report this Post to the Staff
