I'm kinda confused, because I've never seen a proof Jeff without stepsimage

    Looks proof to me.

    I think it unlikely both the TGP and secondary label applier (not that I agree with either anywhere near all the time) would get this wrong. This is a Proof Jefferson. Why would you think it is not (apart from the strike issue you mentioned) - the surfaces, the way the tone is and lies there....Looks Pr to me.

    Nasty looking coin.

    I would have answered if you had used 11 or more question marks, but for only 10 question marks, only a sarcastic comment is warranted

  • It's clearly a proof, but an ugly, impaired one at that.

    Those are the weakest steps I have ever seen on a proof of any date. Looks nothing like my PF 42 type 2

    Similarly, I've got a 1950 proof Franklin that's not FBL. It has a flat section over the lower mid-left bell lines.
