What would you grade this Jefferson?
I am not planning on sending it in any time soon or possibly ever.
Just a fun exercise in grading.
Please give an explanation.

Good lord look at those steps

Im going to say 66+. Luster seems bright and of course that strike is wonderful. Im not sure I know enough about grading these to say 67 though.

 

The worn dies explain the booming luster. I'm there with @Evan8 on the grade range but I think the die state will hold it at MS66. MS66FS.

 

There is no doubt that this is at least a mid die state coin. The orange peel look can be found in multiple spots both obv and rev.

 

65+

 

66 nearly 5 full steps may be a rpm cannot tell from your image check it in hand.

 

Pretty coin. I'm at 65 and maybe FS. The toning makes it tough for me to understand the coin. With different images, I could be at 66.

 

I am glad someone pointed that out, Leave it up to Mr. Nickel.
It is an RPM-004. This is the best I could get with my set up.
D/D clockwise.
From what I have read, there is supposed to be a D over horizontal D. Have you seen one? This Variety is not acknowledged by some attributors?

 

You Guys are killing me. Glad I left the coin under my lens, I will take a few more photos. Might have to wait till morning though..

 

Yeah its a Breen 2678

 

I guarantee that I can capture the steps better.

 

I'm leaning towards full steps just not 100% but from the image darn close....if not.
Nice coin for sure.

 

I am the fan of, you, better have 6 full steps or go home.

 

Ladies and gents hold your cards!!! But I do believe that we have a "Bingo" !
Full steps by these old eyes at 4:39 am!

Next you may want to check it for a ddo and ddr as I do believe there's gold in dem hills.

DDR-001 ?
DDO-001 ?

 

big ding on the cheek. MS-65 FS

 

MS-66FS

 

MS 66 FS

 

65 FS

 

To dark for me.

 

I'm guessing the lighting used when taking the picture has a lot to do with the darkness; especially considering the luster left.
