<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 541424, member: 112&quot;]As to grade, the coin looks like it has been wiped. This is most noticeable on the rev, but the obv has some traces too. And the rev has a good bot of broken luster, especially across the bottom half of Monticello. This to me would likely keep it out of a TPG slab and I would grade it MS details, net AU.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not so much that the pony tail was was weakly designed, it&#039;s more that the coins were that weakly struck. Jeffs are notorious for this, just look at Monticello to see how weakly struck that coin is.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe, but I suspect that you would be told it is due to die erosion.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Same answer as #3.</p><p><br /></p><p>#4 has been answered.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, here is a pic the highest graded 1940-S there is. If you look, you will see that the pony tail on this example is even more weakly struck than on your coin. And check the 4, you will see the same thing that you see on your coin. Can&#039;t make out the S on this one well enough though.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url[file:images/inetpub/newnames/300/3/9/2/7/3927105.jpg],continueonerror[true]&amp;source=url[file:images/inetpub/webuse/no_image_available.gif],if[('global.source.error')]&amp;sink" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url[file:images/inetpub/newnames/300/3/9/2/7/3927115.jpg],continueonerror[true]&amp;source=url[file:images/inetpub/webuse/no_image_available.gif],if[('global.source.error')]&amp;sink" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
