Here are 5 coins from my FS Jefferson collection.

The first is a very prooflike 1985-D Jefferson. ANACS grades it an MS65FS. The second pic is a 1980-P ANACS 65FS Both coins are from the Jim Ragsdale FS collection.


The 3rd pic is a cresent toned 1976, also an ANACS 65FS.

Next one is a 1965 business strike with steps, it's been graded an ANACS 66 despite it's weak strike.

And the last is a frosted, prooflike 1964-D Jefferson

Well, that's all for now, enjoy the pics.

Thanks, Leo

I've reduced the prices on the 2002-D FS Jeffersons over in the BST forum.

Leo:

Nice pictures. I really like the the 1964D. It certainly has prooflike surfaces.

Really like the toning on that '76!

Frank, Ken
Thanks, I really should have another prooflike 64-D but with 5 steps. Unfortunately, it became lost in the mail enroute from the seller. There was also a 6 full step type 1 1939 proof in that package.

It can't be seen very well in the pic but there is some lavender toning between the blue and gold. I got this through TT but wish I could find out who the previous owner was.

Leo thanks for sharing. Question, are the proof 39 type 1 with 6 steps rare? I just bought one in a 1988 NGC holder.

Hi Merysu
A T1 1939 proof with 6 wavy steps could be considered a tough coin to locate. Same could be said for the
1938 and the very rare 1940 rev. of 1938 proofs. It's probably more of a die-hard FS collector thing then something that would catch on with the general numismatic public. I remember paying $182 in auction for the one that never materialized at my door. I was reimbursed by the PO but I can't help think that I have these coins sitting out there somewhere.

What grade is your proof coin?

Hi, Leo!

Resubmit that '64-D; the pic makes it look like they missed the CAM designation.

I like that toned one -- here's its slightly older brother you might enjoy:



Toned that way while in the mint set (plastic not fully sealed). Do you know where yours came from?

Hi Barry
I wish but the contrast isn't that great. The pic's lighting is from a circle 22w FL. But that would make an interesting coin, a 1964-D cameo. I had thought this coin would get the first raves but not until you, Carl
and Frank noticed. There is a major screech on Jeff's coat though. When others have had a first hand look at this coin its interesting to watch their expressions go from wow to ouch.

Hi Tad
If those fields are PL and that cheek looks better then the pic, I'm a buyer, although my offer would only be $5-10, not until I've seen it, I would be able to tell if I could dig a little deeper. Most long time FS collectors can tell you they have a few like your coin and the 85-D. A hole in a mint set will cause this and what's decomposing in the air. Next month, I'll follow up with more pics on these.

Thanks everyone,

Leo

I was just posting the photo, not really looking to sell it. Particularly at that price. It would be neat to try to put together a year set of mint-set toned coins like that.

Looking forward to your next round of photos!
