nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 01/02/2006 4:02 pm OK here is the best coin out of the BU roll. It looks as if it was still struck using old dies or overly polished ones but it has a little better definition than its brothers. The tube they came from was so old it had warped around the coins. It had to be removed very carefully by peeling with a pair of pliers. And yes I did dammage one coin So what grade would you give Mr Jefferson this time.

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/02/2006 4:22 pm Hi Nohope I think your right, the die state is going to hold these coins back a little, this one is better in some respects, (not so much chatter on the cheek) Bag marks of course are not as negative as wear, but location of the marks plays a big part . Less bag marks on the face, still a few in the hair that distract a little from the appeal of the coin, a nice big cut on the reverse Just below the triangle a main grading point for the reverse of the coin. My opinion, MS-63 Rick Report this Post to the Staff
