XpipedreamR - Wonderful coin! Looks solid to me for a 66. A tad of strike weakness, as is usual for the issue, but I'd love to have just such a coin in my own collection!
Thanks for the pics.

Well I might not be the first, but I'll still say it. Without seeing the luster, I'd say it is technically a 65 (I can't get past those three big hits on the top of the dome) and it got the one-point bump for color. Regardless of the number on the insert, that is one sweet looking Jefferson.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
