Yes, I recommend that you browse through some of the lighting Q&A discussions on the Coin Photography forum:

Strange how it can have a worn/weak strike all around a set of full steps

This seems to happen a lot with the 1943 D. Full Steps seem to be readily available for this year/mint. However, finding a reverse strike with detail on the roof tops is impossible.

I wonder if they retooled the stairs on the die?

Im at MS63FS with a possible 6FS

From my experience 1943 D Jeffersons have really nice stairs. Crisp and clean. All the other details on Monticello seem a bit mushy.

Look at the detail across the rooflines of this reverse in comparison. The triangle is pronounced and the railings on both sides have detail.



here is my 43 D for comparison. Very mushy details.
