Jefferson error I cherry picked today

I got this today while snooping around in the loose change at a antique shop todayimage They also had some real nice 1964 Kennedys also in 2x2 cardboard flips but not an AH in the bunchimage I also noticed on this coin that parts of it had a nice sharp strike. While other parts, like Monticello, where very weak.

    It's real. You can see the Blakesley effect from the larger clip on both rims, and from the smaller clip on the reverse rim. That's a pretty cool find from circulation.

    nankraut: I think I bought a couple of coins from your friend back when I was first starting out.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
