Coin Description:

Both sides of this premium gem are bathed in a gorgeous grey gold patina. The surfaces are extremely smooth for the assigned grade. The luster and strike are also exemplary despite the absence of full steps. A large die crack traverses the top of Jeffersons head on the obverse.

 

Comments:

A premium quality coin for the assigned grade that would not look out of place in an MS67 holder. It is always nice when you can pick up a registry quality coin for less than $20. With my 1938-1964 set nearing completion, hopefully I can continue to find affordable modern Jeffs to add to my 1938-Present set.

Here is a larger photo of the coin and I would like to give a special thanks to Moondoggy for figuring out the problem with the journal auto-post.

DEFINITELY ms67. I think the graders sometimes blow off moderns and mistake die cracks for scratches - I've had similar misses on modern die crack grades.
