<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 759878, member: 15309&quot;]I am going to assume that in this case you literally mean &quot;hairlines&quot; as part of the design element of the coin.&nbsp; However, I don&#039;t know what you are referring to about the spacing from the neck to the ponytail.&nbsp; I have posted a photo of a war nickel proof using diffused lighting to see the full detail of the design below.&nbsp; Note the hair detail in the ponytail.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1942-PSilverNGCPF-12.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The ponytail hair detail can fluctuate from coin to coin.&nbsp; While full detail would indicate a strong strike, the Jefferson Nickel series strike quality is almost always associated with the steps of Monticello first.&nbsp; If the steps are not full, there is simply no reason to recognize that the rest of the coin is well struck.&nbsp; Having said that, full steps are not always indicative of an overall strong strike.&nbsp; Here is a 6FS early Jefferson with almost not ponytail detail.&nbsp; In addition, the coin does not have full door and window detail on Monticello, another strike indicator.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1940-DNGCMS67FS26-7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this was the information you were looking for. If not feel free to ask more questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
