Perhaps another set of photos of a different series will help illustrate what the OP is saying. Photographing luster is one of the most difficult...
Jazz, I agree with you that this coin is very unattractive, but that is all you and I agree upon. Most of your responses in this thread are...

Mark, Did you ever read Ron Sirna's grading system for toned coins? This type of coin is an A- or B+ coin depending on the customer....
Normally I would agree, but that particular coin is a no brainer. It is as close to an MS68 as you will ever see in an MS67 holder, IMO. Showing...
Yes, this applies to most all of the MS grades. The CAC uses letters A,B,&C which basically stand for PQ, Good for the grade, & low end. The...
Too late! Jack is unaware of the new federal law that states that I get first dibs on all toned Jeffersons. Fork em over or become a fugitive,...
Well this isn't a proof coin, but SMS coins certainly tone more like proofs than they do like MS coins. Taste the rainbow. [IMG] :D

I predict that this will be a short thread.:(
I agree with what others have said. This coin is in the MS63 range and looks very attractive from your photos. The price you paid ($26) is very...

I own only one whizzed coin. Coincidentally, it is a Barber Half Dollar. I am not condoning whizzing or any other surface alteration technique,...
Your photos are playing tricks on me. Some of them make it look like an MS63 and others make me think it has a shot at MS64. Given that, I will...
My pleasure, and thank you for starting another thread about the Lafayette Dollar. This one is for you my friend. The current king of my...
Once matchmaker stated that the coin had outstanding luster, I thought it would be a lock for MS65. If PCGS graded the coin MS64, then those two...
As most of you know, the Lafayette Dollar is one of my all time favorite United States coins. With regards to the OP, I would like to make some...
Mark, We say nice coin for the same reason that I believe you should. I respect that you are a former grader and hear that you are a fantastic...
No, but let me fix your sentence!
Separate names with a comma.
