    These appear like your traditional business strikes. Often times the mushy reverse (lack of any steps) are a tell-tale sign of a BS.

    Yeah, what gives with the Reverse of the Jefferson's ? Looks like the Alamo in most cases.

    The mint rode those dies to death, especially in the latter part of the 50's and into the 60's. Which explains why full stepped nicks in that date range commands a boatload of cash.

    Round rims suggest business strikes.
