Some Jefferson NEWPs

Here are two 1950 Proof Jeffersons that just joined the Elite Collection.

Hey David,

That first one has an unusual, but very cool look to it! I'll bet it's gorgeous in hand
as you rotate it in the light.

Badger,
Very nice. Lovely color and excellect strikes on both. For a non-cameo, the second is incredible! Thanks for the images and enjoy

Very sweet ... That first one appears to be a definite CAM reverse, but toss-up on obverse. PCGS does not like to give CAMs to heavily toned coins, at any rate... Really love the toning on number two. Hard to tell from images are those satin or brilliant finishes on the respective coins?

RGL,

I agree that PCGS doesn't give up a cameo on a coin as heavily toned as the first. It graded PR66Cam. So not high in registry terms, but interesting and scarce as a heavily toned cameo. You don't need to angle the coin to see the color -more satiny in nature. The second is subtler and brilliant in a PR68 rattler holder.

Sweet on both counts, nice to see a CAM and toning ... the PR-68 1950 (17/0) and `51 (13/0) Jeff proofs have not budged in the pop in nearly two years, despite the flood of submissions. They be scarce critters (note of self interest: Yes, I own a PR-68 of each date ... )

RGL,

What is the coin that has the reverse pictured in your tag line? Very colorful rainbow. Are those wavy steps?
