<p>[QUOTE="cncman, post: 918284, member: 17256"]I have had my jefferson set for 15 years or more and was able to get some very nice coins when there really wasn't a premium for them, I looked at my set in detail dozens of times over the years and I realized that I had a rare FS well struck Jefferson, an 86P, which is very rare in FS. I spend a lot of time looking at several coins, looking for flaws and DDs and OMMs, and this one looked great, imagine my surprise when I got my images and it says UNC details REV scratched! The only thing I can see in the image is along the bottom edge, and it is hard to see from the pics what it really is and if that is what they are talking about. While I have a hard time believing the coin got scratched at NGC I also have a hard time believing I didn't see a scrach on a coin I have had for over 10 years and have looked at under the loupe several times, especially the reverse while looking at the steps. I guess I will know when the coin arrives, I guess it is possible that, if the scratch isn't very obvious I just missed it because of the location, but if it is prominent I think I would have seen it. I will post up when I get it, anyways, look at the rest of the coin, it is a very rare good strike for this year and mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
