Owner Comments:


The 1951 Denver Jefferson:

This year was no different,like most 50's & 60's minted Jeffersons. When collectors out there were looking for
quality' they had their work cut-out for them. When the US Mint back in that time-era pumped out
millions of these,officials never took the time to inspect them.The very few that does show half decent quality
will most certainly cost you some money obtaining them.

As of 2011:
After referencing, I've noticed with the Top 2 Grading Services in our country, (NGC and PCGS), there
was a Combining Total of (1,178) that was Certified, with only (55) that reached the MS-67 Level.

August 2019 Update:
In just 8 years- NGC Total Graded 916 where now (90) have graded MS-67
PCGS Total Graded 1,667 where only (15) are at the MS67 Level.

You would think both grading services would be closer in judgement on coin
grading.
