The 1947-P Jefferson Nickel is one of the more common issues in the series. Only in MS66 or higher is it scarce. With the Full Steps designation, it is also common up to about MS65 condition. In MS66 Full Steps it becomes scarce with a probably no more than one or two hundred examples known. In MS67 Full Steps it is really tough to find and less than a dozen or so examples exist, with few or no examples known in better condition.
When I am asked to review a product, I expect all the information and pictures available to me to make an educated decision about the product. First: It is a good picture, the picture usually sells a coin especially if the option is a blurry picture. When I look at potential coins that I am going to buy, I want a good picture, clear and sharp as possible. If it is advertised as BU, I like to see the cartwheel effect of a freshly minted coin. However, showing the cartwheel sometime may not be possible if the angle is wrong or the lights are not placed at a proper angle. This particular posting leaves some doubt in my mind as to what the reverse of the coin looks like, it could have a big gouge in it or scratches. It may not be likely but any doubt in a posting of a coin will convince a potential buyer to look further. If you are looking for great coins, this could be the one you want. If it is me looking for that date coin I might pass it up, on the other hand the obverse looks so good that I might take a chance and buy it and hope that the seller is not trying to hide something on the reverse. TO THE PEOPLE SENDING ME ITEMS TO REVIEW, DO YOU INTENTIONALLY LEAVE OUT IMPORTANT PICTURES OR FACTS ABOUT THE ITEM TO BE REVIEWED. IF YOU DO, I CANNOT MAKE AN POSITIVE AND INFORMATIVE REVIEW WITHOUT THOSE IMPORTANT PICTURES. DO YOU SEND THESE REVIEWS TO THE SELLER, IF NOT, WHY NOT. JOHN WITTMANRead full review
