[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2370672, member: 69760"]Well, I ended up getting the one from the post above. In person and from at least a few feet away or further, it looks like an untoned proof coin. As I get closer, however, I can see more toning. If I look even closer under a loupe, it stands out more. I do see some more marks though, namely on Jefferson's cheeks and a larger dent on the collar. The fields look to have very, very fine hairlines. The obverse rim at around 10 o'clock is not a rim nick but simply toning, so that's good. At the very bottom of the Monticello's steps, there's a slight nick. I'm not sure that the photos really show it, but I see it maybe 3/4 of the way from the left. Any thoughts on a grade?
