    He is probably mistaking the missing detail in the hair and on Monticello as wear instead of a combination of strike and die wear. Just my guess.

    Yup. Always struggle separating the three (strike, die wear, circulation wear).

    Isn't the key to differentiating this the appearance of the surface? Won't a weak struck area have a slightly "rough" surface while wear will be glass smooth?

    Not shocked. I said high in grade 66. It is a nice, solid high grade Jeff. Good eye appeal.

    Despite the lower grade, I like the look of this coin much more than the MS67.

    Woah I am seriously on a roll! I agree that the MS66 looks better because of that toning.

    I completely agree with you. That 66 is beautiful.

    Somehow missed this one. I would have guessed 67 as well.

    That second Jefferson knocks the socks off the first. That portrait really jumps off the coin.

    The second one deserves a star and would be a good candidate for the star thread.

    The second one deserves an MS67 grade, it is superlative in every way.

    The toning of the 66 is much more attractive than the 67. I agree with the choice. No question it is under graded—I would have gone 67*.
