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   #5 (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?

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.   11-10-2008, 10:57 AM   #7 (permalink) Speedy Researching Coins     Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,580 My Mood: Very nice!

I use x10 when cherrypicking to quickly look for varieties then when I believe I've found a DD or RPM and it is not a obvious major variety I'll use a x24 to double check before purchase and for attributing the actual variety once I get home. __________________ My collection (part of it anyway)http://www.omnicoin.com/user_view.aspx?id=Nickelman "IN GOD WE TRUST" Escapee from the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts!   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
