Jeffersons come in such pretty colors

tmot99

No, I don't have pictures posted. I only have them permanently etched into my head. At the Chicago show, I saw a dealer that had a bunch of what I remember to be 1961 Jeffersons that had the best colors. Each had an individual color, yellow, red, and blue. I took the time to stop and look and contemplated buying them, but I had other things on my mind to spend money on. You would think I would have gotten the dealer's name, but I didn't.

Does anybody know who he is or remember seeing these? I would like to track them down.

Were those proof coins? The early 60's Jeff proofs do indeed tone very
pretty sometimes.

I expect Russ will have some photos to add to this thread!

I'm pretty sure they were 61 proofs.

Was the dealer some guy with a mullet from Texas? Were the coins PCGS graded? Does Marty have an attic?

Okay. Just a couple, though. Since he mentioned 1961:

Here are two such coins:

Actually they were much more colorful than these. Solid bright colors. They were totally amazing and I have been kicking myself since then for not buying them.

Yes, PCGS is bagging them now... only a handful got through.

Yep, The Marty Hoard. Some of them have even spread all the way to my area. I've seen six so far.

Here's a little bit stronger one:



Still not Marty Hoard caliber, though.

A couple of 1962's:







And, how about a nice fantasy coin:

That's more like it. I think some that I saw were PCi graded, but I didn't care as much about the holder as I did about the coins. Why did PCGS bag them? AT? If so, are they really AT?

Marty, I need to see some pictures.

I'll get down to the safe deposit later in the week and pull out three (PCGS) that'll blow your socks off!
(PCGS should really try and buys these back... )
