Looks fine to me - too bad about the fingerprint. Appears MS, but hard to tell from these pics.

Thanks coinfrog! How much would the fingerprint affect the grade/value do you think?

Toning looks nice on your Jefferson - after all it is 35% silver.

I couldn't say. Toning is a plus, fingerprint is a minus, and the coin is unlikely worth the cost of TPG grading. Whatever the value, it's probably less than $15.

Thanks guys! The toning is commanding a bit of a premium. But I will try to get it for lower due to the fingerprint and the fact it isn't a rare date. Appreciate the help!

Looks at least mid MS to me. Use the fingerprint to your advantage when negotiating if you want it.

I purchased it. Here are the in hand pics. Soaked in acetone to make sure it was good. What do you think?

Looks like it came outta an old glue backed blur Whitman foulder. If so, glue damaged the reverse, changed the metal surface. Not a fan of this type of toning.

I love the toning on this Jefferson!

Gradewise, MS65 and close to FS but not quite getting there, call it 3FS lol.
