It's actually in an NGC AU-58 holder, but in my opinion (and in that of a dealer I know who specializes in Jeffersons) it's more likely uncirculated, probably about MS-63. I'll post more pics in the near future. I'm having a problem with my setup right now, which is why the ones I posted are so bad.   11-12-2008, 09:47 PM   #7 (permalink) stainless CONSVL     Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: T-Town Beat Down, Michigan Posts: 3,153 My Mood: is it just me or does the letters look doubled? Nice Find stainless __________________ Will trade coins for cake recipes.   11-12-2008, 11:49 PM   #8 (permalink) borgovan Supporter**   Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Michigan Posts: 1,356 It's not just you... The FS-022 variety is doubling of "MONTICELLO" and "FIVE CENTS." It is a very profound doubling, and not really mistakeable. There is a more minor variety, FS-022.5, which has minor doubling of some of the letters, and is actually said to be a quadrupling of some areas, but it does not compare to the striking doubling of this variety.   11-14-2008, 06:08 PM   #9 (permalink) stainless CONSVL     Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: T-Town Beat Down, Michigan Posts: 3,153 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by borgovan It's not just you...

Ahhh, ok, thanks for the help...I was wondering what the 022 meant. stainless __________________ Will trade coins for cake recipes.   11-15-2008, 12:29 PM   #10 (permalink) nickelman Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Top of Virginia Posts: 965 Just posted this under 'Post your bargains' and thought I share.
