My new little jewel - warning, large photo!

Just received today, this is a 1939 rev '40 Jefferson 5c FS22.5, a quadrupled die
reverse. This is currently a pop 1/0 at NGC, and there is a lone FS example
graded MS66 5S.
I'm thrilled! It is clean, with a golden-blue obverse and a light gold reverse.
Very lustrous and well struck, this coin has five sharp steps with just the lightest
of cuts running across 2-3 of them.
I tried photos, but I still can't get it so I whipped up this scan. It doesn't show
the nice tone or luster, but you can see the spread of the quadrupling on CELLO,
CENTS and OF AMERICA. With my loupe, there is some clear separation lines showing.

Unfortunately, it is on the coin. Fortunately, it is just a light milky tone spot with no
debris on the surface. The scanner is greatly exaggerating the spot, as it is only
discernible to the naked eye at certain angles.
I'm still happy, and I'm picky about spots - especially carbon!

which seemed reasonable to me for a pop 1/0 MS67 variety Jeff.
A week later, one of the five graded MS66 coins sold for $300 which didn't
hurt my feelings any. Interestingly, that coin's serial number was just two from
mine so it looks like someone may have submitted a mini-hoard of at least two
or more of these to NGC.
The upgrades to my PCGS registry set have really slowed to a trickle the past
couple of years, but I continue to purchase nice varieties and attractively toned
Jeffersons to add to my little stash whenever I can!
