1964-D Jefferson Nickel Possible PL And Gem?

You have a nice looking business strike nickel for sure. None of the TPG's recognize PL as a characteristic for nickels so forget about that.

Your image does not show the steps clearly enough for me to offer an opinion on FS.

As for MS67 - that's doubtful but you have the coin in hand and again your small images are not sufficient to offer a grade.

I say that sending modern coins to PCGS hoping for a high MS grade is generally a lesson in expensive grading fees with little return. If you choose to do so, let us know how it goes. Best of wishes.

Question .
Why spend $50 to get a coin worth a dollar
at most graded?

it would be an expensive learning experience to send this coin in. here are the grading costs in case you havent looked into it.

two reasons to slab
1. its a rare coin that needs authenticated and preserved
2. you are planning on selling the coin and the cost of acquisition plus the grading fee's would warrant it without chewing up all your profit

PCGS charges a minimum of $69 for a subscription other subscription levels include grading vouchers though so you could reduce these costs. add to the subscription cost, per coin grading cost which I think for this one might be $23, shipping & ins both ways (1-4 coins is $27 if the total value is under $1000)

NGC - economy grading tier is $22, plus $10 handling fee, plus $28 for shipping (1-5 coins).

ANACS grading would be $16 but there's a 5 coin minimum. Shipping would be $29-35.

CAC - $99 subscription ($50 grading credit), economy grading $15, gold $28, $40 shipping/handling/ins

i don't slab coins for these reasons especially the cost involved. I don't know why this is so popular today. just making the grading companies wealthy
