    Oooh, I like that one. Very interesting toning, I have not seen one like that before.

    I have been looking for a nice Type coin with toning for my set similar to your coin, I consider you coin to be: "with DESIGNER INITIALS (1966-2003)."

    I recently broke my single Jefferson Type 1 slot into 3 "sub-types".


    JEFFERSON, TYPE 1, ORIGINAL DESIGN, REVERSE OF 38 (1938-1939)
    JEFFERSON, TYPE 1, ORIGINAL DESIGN, REVERSE OF 40 (1939-1966)
    JEFFERSON, TYPE 1, ORIGINAL DESIGN, DESIGNER INITIALS (1966-2003)

    I consider this to be similar situation to LINCOLN, TYPE 1, "with VDB" WHEAT REVERSE vs "Without VDB", and since I include that as a type, this one makes sense to breakout as well.

    As the resident Jefferson expert I wonder if you would agree with this, or is this too minor?

    There are also 2 different VDB reverses for the Philadelphia coin.

    Thanks. It is the only one I have. I would like to add a nice clean luster bomb someday. They are beautiful coins. Yours included.

    I sold mine years ago, I was attempting to do a toned set of gem grade SLQs and quickly realized that I had bid off more than I could chew. This one was my favorite.

    Those SLQs are unbelievably beautiful! I'm too poor for that. :p

    I hope I have not posted this coin before but I am bored, it's still off being graded by ANACS. We are at about 90 days Economy rate. :rolleyes: I really liked this toning, it's not exactly wallet buster year/mint. I should add I'm generally not a fan of toning unless it's natural rainbow.
