<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 3315596, member: 77413&quot;]You have picked up one of my favorite coins. Mine is part of a 1950 proof set in a Capital Plastics holder, and has picked up a nice warm color over the years. I hope you like yours as much. (Not graded, but estimated at PF66-67.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Notice that even on these proofs, which they had not made for eight years, you can see a tiny bit of roughness on the jaw and jacket where the nickel did not completely fill the die. This does not generally affect the grade and I have seen 1950 proof Franklins that look the same and have graded very high!</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, these have full steps. The steps at either end of Monticello are also clearly lined. All the windows are clearly outlined, and the surface of the walls of the building have a slightly rippled texture. The coin is overlaid with a light orange toning, especially over the face, which give it a warmth and light golden overtone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: I don&#039;t know if it makes the coin more desirable or less for most people, but I also love the little spots of glue from the original packaging over the N of IN and the D in GOD. You know it&#039;s never been touched.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]878563[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
