Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 11/06/2019 9:43 pm I recently ( impulse)bought a nearly complete set of Jefferson's. Just got them and glanced at a few after work today. This one stuck out. I've seen you guys post similar coins but this is the first proof strike error coin I have found! What do you guys and gals think? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34437 Posts	Posted 11/06/2019 10:55 pm I think you are right about this being struck-through. Seems more likely a thread than a hair, but either way its pretty sweet.

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 11/07/2019 08:27 am Thanks guys. I'm going to look at the rest of them today. I'm not a Jefferson rpm/dd expert so it will probably take longer than if it were Lincolns! But I have picked 2 FS varieties from this seller so I'm pretty sure he hasn't looked at them very closely!

Your comment made me laugh. I'm bald and have been shaving my head for 30+ years. I'm looking back on all of the hairs I've left behind and the places they could have ended up. I hope no one finds one and sues me. Now, back to the coin... ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
