Message:: [QUOTE="USS656, post: 302077, member: 6641"]What I notice are the following: On the obverse:<ul> <li>The small carbon spot on Jefferson's shoulder</li> <li>A couple small dings on his cheak and chin</li> <li>Some very-very faint lines only seen at 30X just left of the date</li> </ul>On the Reverse:<ul> <li>Two minor dings on Monticello</li> <li>The ding on the mint mark - it's the most significant on the coin - and it's still pretty minor</li> <li>A minor ding in a flat area above monticello</li> </ul>On the Rim:<ul> <li>Discoloration normal for a coin that spent long period in a paper roll</li> <li>Some smallllll dings on the Obv.</li> </ul>The steps are normal for coins from the mint during that period and I'm happy it has three full. The luster looks really good but not quite great. That about sums up what I see.  Hope that answers your question - thanks for the grade and I agree this is hard to judge without seeing the coin in hand but I'm still very interested to hear what others think. :thumb:[/QUOTE]
