captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 01/26/2023 4:47 pm Probably over paid for this one by a few but it seemed really nice and the online photos made it look so close to a full step (that's a hair not a scratch) Where are you at with grade in this one? Also, on the obverse temple and behind the head are a couple tiny black spots. Maybe organic and removable? Thanx! Report this Post to the Staff

captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 6:25 pm I valued it at MS65 full step. Even if its not, close enough and you all talked me into keeping it. I still have some work to do on my MS grading skills with Jefferson's. So many have mushy strikes and the nuances in die states for different years are a challenge. Thanx for the feedback!

NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2282 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 8:24 pm MS65 5FS minimum Nice coin! *Just to clarify, there is a 5 Full Steps and a 6 Full Steps designation. This is without a doubt 5FS.
