This is exactly why I love small local shows. The dealers bring their 2x2's and you can sit, look, talk and not feel rushed. Every now and then, you get to pull a gem like this for a few bucks!

Exactly!
There is no question about this coin, I can tell from the first image of the reverse that the mm looks different (I can even see the "S" in the first image)

Made sense to me!

it looks different than Cherrypickers pic of the D/S
coneca only lists 1 variety for the OMM with different markers

Hoard the keys.
Sinin1 - I agree the actual D/S does look a bit different that Cherry Pickers. However, let's look at the other die markers in CP and even the Corso example. Frank, as always, great pictures! It is amazing how a little different light angle and/or intensity can make a picture look quite different. This picture picks up some interesting die scratches.
Notice the similar die scratches coming off the porch steps into the open field. Both the Corso and CP examples have these scratches. The biggest similarity is the Die scratch coming from the top of the mint mark heading up at 1:00. This is identicle to the Corso example. It does not show up in the CP example.
In my second picture, it looks like there are multiple D's there as well? This could make a great mint mark study for the 1949-D/S variety?

Whatcha think it's gonna grade?

Sweeeeeet!

I love Jeffersons.
WE NEED a thread about rare varieties such as "D over S".
How rare are they?
Any cherry pickers out there with the STATS?
<< <i>Results are in.......MS66.
Sweeeeeet! >>
However great a find this is, and it is but would you agree that the strike is of a LDS nature? Looks like some hair and a few of the windows are soft in detail!

well, sometimes dealers have employees who don't know a '49-D/S Jefferson from an '01-S Barber Quarter!!
Since I haven't collected Jeffersons for years, I wouldn't have even thought to look for the overdate.

there are "tool marks" and "die scratches" on this variety. the "tool marks" are clearly visible on the OP coin at the top right of the balcony, should be visible on every D/S and are a reliable marker. the "die scratches" are another anomaly altogether. those seen at the MM and just below it are especially prominent on EDS coins, fading with each successive strike till they become almost imperceptible on LDS coins. i assume they are the result of polishing at the MM.
Great observation/information on the tool marks verses die scratches. Most interesting comment was on die state determination. On my MS65 sample, you can hardly see these die scratches, but the tool marks you noted have not been as impacted. On the MS66, these die scratches jump out at you. I think it is assumed there was only one D/S die (correct?), this would infer the MS66 was produced way ahead of the MS65. This explanation spells out the answer to Leo's question on LSD of the MS66. I would now respond no, not a LDS, but possibly a softer struck coin to be lacking those details. Maybe the working die did not possess the sharply defined details we typically attribute to an EDS coin?

Congrats......
1950-----just a date that's tough in true FS grades, the ignored step-sister of the vaunted 1950-D.
I wasn't implying the grade was determined by die state. In using the two coins as reference, the MS66 just happens to be an earlier die state based on your observation about the die scratches.
Thanks
I do have to say that even though the Jefferson Nickels don't get a lot of respect, I think they are an awesome series with some of the most awesome natural toning.
It seems to have enough varieties keep your interest but not so many like the Morgans (but the NT rainbow toning is the best) that you have to have 300 versions of the same year/mint mark. Sort of like the modern President UNC sets.
Anyway, my point is GREAT PICK UP. Go Jeffies!
Good job!!!!!!!
By the way, I'm still waiting for my hole-in-one!
