A treat for you 1960's era DCAM proof Jefferson fans.

Got this one in a couple days ago:
Besides being a nice DCAM, it's unusual in that it doesn't have any spotting or hazing. Most of these I've seen in the proof sets do. This one likely grades PR68 because of a couple ticks in the fields as well as Jefferson's lower jaw. But, I'm still learning these, so I could be full of crap.

No, it went for way more than I can afford. Marty always has those good ones and I'm stuck with nothing.

The cameo is a little light on the obverse of this one:
... but it will make a nice set-up coin for this next one:
That obverse pic is through a flip, as my first attepmt was out of focus. You can see the degree of frost and mirrors much better in the blurry pic, though:
The first coin came in an $7.50 set, the second one I picked up for the princely sum of $1.50.

That 69 would fit just fine in my raw Jeff. proof set. If you decide to part with it, give me a shout.
Thanks

That one will go in on a submission as a learning coin.

In top grade deep cameo, absolutely. Since the half was the only coin with silver content, it didn't wear down the dies as fast as the harder cupro nickel coins. The Lincolns have their own set of problems - carbon spots.
