spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 02:35 am I have to say AU-58, not FS. The obverse is very slightly MAD.

Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 02:40 am Yes, I see the minor MAD. I re-found it in my error coins. I knew this wasn't FS. But was curious since I know the steps are an issue in the 80's. Thanks Spruette... this is new territory for me! Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 02:47 am Your pics are pretty good, overall. With the steps on these, it may be best to have a light source coming from the south to illuminate that common weak point on Monticello's steps at the bottom. Coin photography is not easy!
