    They look like wood, but the wood grain is screened on...I'm thinking plastic...

    I got one of each today and took them out and looked at them.

    They're good looking coins but I'm disappointed in the hair detail. I looked at some originals on EBAY that seemed to have more detail than these new ones from the mint. It really is the hair that makes this coin design a classic, and it seems they messed that up.

    The Jeffersons are based on the half cent of 1800-1808, which does not have the same degree of hair detail as the silver coins of that era. People that complain about it don't seem to know what the half cents look like. I think the Mint's done a fine job, and will be keeping mine.

    Hey cmerlo1 -

    THANX for posting the pix. Proofs are ALWAYS hard to photo, but you done well. That proof looks pretty dang nice -- and I've noticed that many of the frosted proofs loose a bit of detail since the dies are blasted with glass beads to give the frosted finish.

    Anxiously awaiting mine... Wayne

    Paleodale - are you feeling a bit invisible? SORRY, I hear you but can't share since MINE HAVE NOT ARRIVED. BUT I feel your pain, and see your point. Anybody listening?

    I'm sure it is simply light refracting.

    cmerlo 1, you are one of the very few who have an actual photograph of the coin and not some recycled, copied and pasted Mint cartoon drawing of the coin/s.

    What are the lines on the back of the Unc. and does that affect the grade. i.e. not a 70 ?

    thanks,

  • PaleodalePaleodale Posts: 290 ✭
    They are die scratches,, they don't seem to be as visable on the obverse of the few I have seen so far,, I think it's cool... reminds me of the older coins... image
  • 7over87over8 Posts: 4,733 ✭✭✭
    I believe the UNC looks great as well.

    So many members are discounting the UNC, but it looks very good.......in fact I might give it the slight edge over the proof this time around.

    A classic design just looks "right" in UNC rather than proof, classic designs in proof look like knock off modern copies........just my opinion,

    7over8...... I agree totally!!!

    I am in Houston this weekend for my wife's 20th High School reunion...when I get back, I will look at the unc and let everyone know about the discoloration. I didn't notice it when I was photographing the coin, and when I looked at the photos, I assumed it was a lighting issue...

    As for the auction photos, I noticed that all the others had the mint photos in them...I thought it would be good to use the real ones, and I never use stock photos in my auctions anyway...

    I originally thought the Liberty design was smaller than the Martha, but after the scan I see it's just because it's not all 'Face'.

    Also, my Unc. doesn't have an discoloration. It does have a couple/few of those die scratches.

    BTW, these were imaged on a scanner, not a camera.

  • CgbCgb Posts: 710 ✭
    Very nice coins.

    I think I actually like the Unc better.
  • oldwestgoldoldwestgold Posts: 337
    When you put the Martha next to the Liberty, you realize just how hideous the Martha coin is. The Jefferson is nice, classic design. Thanks for the pictures.

    wow gorgeous coins

    the uncircs look wonderful...i'm keeping all of mine, no grading, no nothing, just bootyful coins.

    proof is outstanding....

    those poor, poor hags really are butt ugly coins in comparison to Jefferson Liberty.

    I'm back from Houston...just finished looking at the unc. (and the proof- I like these coins a lot, but can't afford to keep them!). There is no staining on the neck and cheek- it's definitely a luster 'swirl' causing that in the photo. The die polish lines are there, though...someone said in another thread that this gives the coin character- I agree!

    Thanks for enlightening me on the exact coin that this is a duplicate of. I'll see if I can find some images of that particular coin. Even though I was a bit disappointed to look at them, but I looked at both of mine up close and it turns out I got very good examples of each, so they're going in to PCGS for grading ASAP.
