Question for the Jeff guys

JRoccoJRocco Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭✭
Pulled this Jeff from an old bank roll with both MS and circ Jeffs. This 87D has nice full steps, but the coin is poorly struck, not hammered. I do believe this coin is MS and will slab as FS. My question is the staining, mainly on the reverse. The obverse looks really nicely toned. I do not know if it could be cleaned, or could be dipped. Is it worth the effort? Should it be left alone? IS this circulated and I am just seeing a poorly struck coin? Help from you Jeff guys would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

  • The Reverse to me looks hammered...the Obverse is weak...lot of hits on the reverse...I think it is MS and just weakly struck....nice and toned though.

    I think PCGS would give that coin an AU grade, which does not mention the steps. Neat coin and all, just better appreciated raw.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    There's no real wear but it looks like a rub on the obverse.

    Otherwise it's not a bad coin but wouldn't be special because of the oblique strike.

    It gets the Full Monticello designation...

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
