solid nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that bugger needs a re-holder!!! pre-1955 Jeffs in DCAM are tough even in lower grades and this looks about PR66 with evidence of friction on the devices, thanks to the Mint's exemplary packaging from that era. an area of curiosity is the flat field between T.J.'s head and ponytail which can be clearly seen as "Mirror" on the 1951 and is totally frosted on the 1981 i've pictured. i wonder when that change was made??

what accounts for the shadowed area to the right top of the Monticello, what looks like frost in the field??

Keets,

I should have said - this is in a Pr66Dam holder.

The area above the Monticello is a reflection. There is no cameo in the field. And, the area between the hair and the collar is lighly frosted.

The photo does show the rub on Jeff's cheek more than in hand.

I guess my photo techniques need assistance.

Personally, I think your imaging is excellent, and that coin is a:

I guess it's OK if you are into that kind of thing ... Wonderful coin ... '50s Jeffs have to walk on water to DCAM so that is a miracle coin.

Could it be that the "rub" is just an area where the coin is 99.5% struck? Still frosty, but not quite as contrasted as the rest of the coin.

It is a suberb coin, Dcam in an era where hardly any proof coins were.

Nice! '51 is a really tough year for DCAM Jeffs. I've never owned one.

Not my area of expertise ... but why does it look like the frost is brushed on?

Trade$nut,

I looked at the obverse again and it does look like it is cross hatched on the surface of the coin. The reverse does not have the same appearance.

I don't have an explanation

hey Badger

you didn't need to say that, i figured it out!!!! TDN seems to have seen the same thing i did with regard to the frost. i'd assume it's from friction and cost the coin 1-2 grade points. BUMMER!!!
