What a beauty to find in circulation. Please, get the Jefferson into a 2x2 right away, like before you have your morning coffee! Need a closeup of Jefferson's cheek just in front of the ear, and of the jaw bone. Your nice photos show small nick in the field just above the cuff on the right hand, and another nick in the field just below the fingers of the right hand. MS67 or MS68?

I'm trying to learn about the different types of doubling. I see different things on different areas of the coin. Looking forward to what the experts have to say.
Edit: Is that doubling I see or just the reflective nature of the photo?

I'm sorry for the late response, but where would I find more information about this variety, if there are more than have been found, etc? I have tried looking it up in numerous registries to no avail. Am I missing a critical resource? I seem to have a similar specimen, after discounting hundreds of other years/varieties to Machine Doubling or Die Deterioration by reviewing posts. I would like to make sure before I post and look like I haven't done any research.

I like to see a few more angles of the darkened cheek/jaw area before I make a determination of it being MS, what I've seen in these pics so far are pretty but if those areas have seen enough rub that the luster is gone in that area, it would fall into low MS - AU, even if the rest of it is immaculate.... that cheek and jaw area really draws the eye there, and I'm not sure if thats lighting and shadows, or a lack of luster in that area doing it.
I'm no professional grader by the way, just putting that out there, I'm not. It's just my opinion from looking at a whole lot of coins and figuring it out. If that's marks or a lack of luster from rub, it would be a huge hit to the grade because it's in the main focal point of the Obverse, front and center. Maybe Up as high as MS60, MS62 if that cheek is how it appears in the picture in my opinion, or down in the AU58 depending on how the graders feel about it from their view of it. Sure looks like it interrupts the luster cartwheel in this picture.
