Good eye. Maybe a die crack? It’s soooo small even under my good sculpting magnifier I can’t tell exactly.
I tried to get a flat pic but my lighting isn’t working :) thanks for your thoughts - I’ll have to google Blakesly effect.
Hi All Picked this up as BU, which it is (Its every bit as nice as my PCGS MS65) but when I looked closer I noticed a spot in Jefferson's...
