CHECK YOUR Jefferson First Spouse coins

jsf

My proof coin was nice, the unc had a spot of tone more than it should have, right in the middle of the obverse. RETURN TO SENDER

Not sure I would have done that. The coin will probably not be replaced. You could have flipped that for a nice profit with no trouble at all.

That's the least of my concern.

Here is a pic of a proof and unc. that was posted on this forum earlier and I noticed the same thing and mentioned it and no one seemed to want to comment on it because I asked the question......... ......... Stain ??? edited to say be sure to look at the obverse of the Unc.

I had almost the exact same thing on Abigail uncirculated, maybe not quite as large and it came back ms69.

If you don't care about possibly not getting a replacement, and don't care about flipping it for a profit, what are your concerns then?

I'm thinking, possibly, I don't know... Having a nice looking coin to keep?

The spot in the photo does not look too bad. If you put it in an album maybe you could get true target toning.

I was concerned about getting nice coins for me and my family, expecting a decent product.

I was not planning on being concerned about having things reduced to the lowest common denominator as the rest of you who flip and much of the country does. That seems what the U. S. Mint has done with these. I'm left to conclude that the Mint has nothing but a bunch of low-life crackheads in QA.

Flippers can get by on low expectations, I'd rather not.

RETURN TO SENDER

edited: I am basing my opinion on a number of recent, extremely poor Mint offerings, THREE ORDERS ALL RETURNED IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS for basically the same reasons, i.e. stains, smudges, and dust.

My proof is also nice but my MS coin also has a small spot at the tip of the bust. I also considered sending it back, but I'm sure that I wouldn't get a replacement. On the bright side, the reverse on mine doesn't seem to have any of the die polish line that are showing up on some.

My MS came with a red-brown plotch on the obverse

I'm not sure if I am seeing the problem referred to.... is it the broken pattern shown on the cheek?

Regardless, I don't see a problem with it. I think we are sometimes way over sensitive to 'condition' any more, what with trying to play the MS70+ game, registry sets, etc. Seems we can no longer find the forest because of all the trees that get in our way....

By all means, if absolute perfection is what one must have, above all else..... then certainly go for it. And... if it is that important to a person, to send back a coin that sold out in hours and is no longer obtainable, and in all probability will not be replaced.... then again, go for it. Most likely you will have to buy one off of eBay graded MS70 for several hundred dollars more. But we each have our own criteria what we want and will settle for, and at whatever cost is acceptable to us. I personally just don't get too wound up over the differences between an MS 67, 68, 69 and 70.

Do you have a photo of the coin before you sent (or will send) it back?

Hey, instead of sending it back to the Mint where it will probably be melted... sell it to me!

Interesting, my unc seems to be clear but my proof had a small pit in the field. 69 at best.

Check for ring marks on obverse at 12 o'clock and a dent on reverse rim at 7 o'clock. Proof looks great!!!
