50D Jefferson

I am a sucker for golden toned coins, anything that has streaks or striations. This one below could have been treated a little better and almost didn't buy it.
I just wanted to know what the small pimples an the left of the Monticello were.
Made me think of a Henning?
What do you think?

I am not saying it is a Henning, it was just a thought, maybe a fake. I have been searching the internet for the answer.

 

Pimples you say? It's almost 75 yrs old. A little old for pimples. Don't you think?
Seriously, I like it.

 

Here is a better photo of the Pimples.

 

I am 78 and still get damned pimples! I think it has something to do with my CPAP mask.

 

I had one of those funny monkey business contraptions. Got rid of it within a month. Still sleep like crap but unrestricted.
Wait. Where are we?
The coin that's right.
Maybe tiny die specks.

 

Could be just die deterioration, those type of pimples are most common on fakes.

 

Where is @JCro57 ? He wrote the book on it. My copy is packed away, can't get to it.

 

I was low on funds at the time. I wasn't able to buy one.

 

Pretty mushy strike, and the bottom of the "C" in "AMERICA" -what's up with that?

 

I just took a better look at the area. The curl of the C is barely there, it's very faint.

 

I was thinking this looked suspect as well. The 50-D used to be considered a rare key date at one time. It may seem crazy but this has many indications of being a fake. Very mushy details.

 

took mine out to compare.. similar gold toning but no pimples on mine
As for yours being a "mushy" or weak strike, that was fairly common on many of the examples I looked at before I found this one. I bought it specificaly because it was a very nice strike

 

Sold this one in October.

 

I searched thru many sites the past couple of days, the search still hasn't come to an end. I found a matching die pair, Both have been sold at auction, 1 PCGS and 1 NGC.

So, the pimples have been ok'd by both top tier grading company's. I am still not sure that this isn't a fake.

 

Hope you don’t mind me posting this one. I found this one is friend’s I’m looking through recently.

 

I am having a hard time reading the photos, (old age). Can you see the Pimples on yours? The MM is close, could be, can you get a little better Pics? @PamR

 

You got me thinking: I found a gold toned specimen roll searching and it appeared gold and dull. I’ll have to dig it out now for a ‘pimple’ check.

 

I’m really not sure what I’m looking for. I have not read on it too much.

 

I see bumps lol.
