Grade? Hey folks, this isn't normally my thing, posting pics and asking for grade ideas, but I was going through my 3 ring binders, and found a 1962 and a 1963 Jefferson that have really caught my eye. This is the 1963, beautiful blue color. I have an idea what i would call it, but I wanted other's input. I dont think you can tell from the pics, but as far as I can see, it is a Full step coin too.... there is a little lint on it from the 2X2 I got it in, but other than that, the fields are mirrorlike... thanks for looking!

In hand you can see the borders of the door and windows.... I took another 20 pictures this evening and could not get a clear photo that can show that level of detail. i will taking them to work tomorrow and borrow a digital camera that is much better than mine to see if it will work. Hopefully, with an otoscope, I can confirm the Full steps or not.....I'll keep y'all posted!   08-16-2007, 07:22 AM   #9 (permalink) nickelman Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Top of Virginia Posts: 965 Being a Proof it most likely has full steps. Finding a high grade Unc. 1963 Full Step would be the challege.   08-16-2007, 07:58 AM   #10 (permalink) bqcoins You get what you pay for.     Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Nebraska/Iowa Posts: 5,249 My Mood: nice proof say a 64 or so __________________ BQ Sometime Numismatic Consultant See my Bust Halves here: http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid See my Holey coins here:http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
