That just happened to be the 3rd most interesting thing about the coin I had though. First my attention was on the appearently missing Bridge of Jeffersons nose. If not for the strong presence of his nose and brow, I would assume common wear and tear, but missing also is most neck detail and a portion of his hair towards the back of his head, yet details in between these spots are sharply defined. Secondly, on the reverse, a die chip near the first O of Monticello caught my attention and pulled my focus to the underside of the building itself, which seems to have a very wide 'shadow' lining the bottom, giving the appearance that the entire building is kinda floating to my perception.Vertical edge wall lines are also overly sharp giving a very 3D type appearance. I hope my pictures capture what I'm trying to describe. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Flowme911 Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 07:22 am Thank you for the reply John, that is basically what I was hoping. Reverse just has me a bit worried as I'd prefer to avoid any corrosion issues if possible! My apologies again on the photos, less in the future for sure! The adding photos tutorial on here is perfect too! Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 07:32 am Just curious, why were you hoping for over polished dies? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Flowme911 Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 07:49 am I actually like them, like this one has Jefferson looking pretty wild, and they tend to be noticeable without a scope. Doubled Dies can be really tough on me, as I have double vision already needing correction lol, so until then at least, it is easier for me to see something missing than something extra :) Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96935 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 08:28 am I like the over polished bridge of the nose too. It gives Jeff some character. Collecting since 1972.
