1925 S California Jubilee Real ?

zoomed in on the Obverse

A few things...

1. The poor quality of your original images likely contributed to a potential misdiagnosis of the coin. Folks here do the best they can with what they are provided. They can't always be perfect when given subpar material with which to work. Poor images can lead folks to be suspicious of a coin's originality/genuineness. Good images improve accuracy, bad image worsen it.

2. To my eyes, your example is a circulated coin - your new images reveal wear on the coin's high points. This generally lessens/limits its market value - especially for a coin that can easily be found in top condition. Nonetheless, some collectors (but not all) will like the coin's toning regardless of its technical grade.

3. Making disparaging comments about those who tried to help you ("not a coin guy") is not the best way to make friends here (at least IMO). Folks give freely of their time to support CCF and do the best they can. There have been many, many counterfeit coins posted here on CCF and many members have become sensitive to that fact.

I wish you the best going forward.

Your original images with the questionable spacing in the legends and significant apparent pitting on the reverse were the reason for my input.

It was the proper call with the photos provided.




For me - I've simply moved on.

I wish you the best with this coin.
