<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jody526, post: 18329, member: 578&quot;]I&#039;m usually not a variety collector, but I do enjoy adding one to my collection of Jeffersons now and then.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a really nice one I picked up recently:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;rd=1&amp;item=3927826635" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;rd=1&amp;item=3927826635" rel="nofollow">1940-S/S (south)</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is very lightly toned, and virtually mark free. It&#039;s not quite a full strike, on the obverse, and the reverse just misses having 5 full steps.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse has a die crack in the hair that runs from near the top of the head towards the back, in a downward curving pattern.</p><p>There is also, either a die scratch, or another die crack, on the bottom of the shoulder, parallel to the truncation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse has what appear to be two vertical die gouges just below and right of the far left window.</p><p>There are also two tiny die chips, in the field, at 2:00 o&#039;clock.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a close-up, of the RPM, taken from Jason&#039;s website:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://varietynickels.com/images/1938to1941rpm/40s-rpm1.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://varietynickels.com/images/1938to1941rpm/40s-rpm1.jpg" rel="nofollow">S/S RPM</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>Any comments are welcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
