Nice and original with light golden iridescent toning and booming luster. Fields are very clean with only two distracting marks- one on the jawline and another on the steps. If they are not too deep, I would call this one an MS64  |

I would say MS62 because of the heavy bag marks on the reverse, but some nice luster and toning...Very nice coin!

When you look at it in hand, do you see a scuff mark on the hairline as described? If not, I'd call this MS 63 due to a few too many contact marks, but they are small and not distracting, thus I could go MS 64. Nice coin! |

For what it's worth I'm pretty sure the coin is MS. I don't think the marks on the forehead is wear/rub. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it went AU. But XF? Ricardo... What coins do you have for sale graded by these standards... I'm buying! And I bought the coin at the local B&M.

But XF? Ricardo... Ouch thats harsh, Can't be calling the guy out on a grade  But seriously the obverse screams MS but I can understand confusing the weakish strike with wear with the reverse. Especially if your more used to the Jeffersons from the late '80's and beyond. The coin probably has a lot of luster (and toning) which doesn't show well in the pic. I'd say MS63/64 |

If you look at strike detail I could see why he might say XF. If you don't see a lot of these the details are really poor in my opinion. The coin has good luster, few bag marks, but excellent color in my opinion. I'd go MS61ish.
