I posted this late last night and it got lost in the shuffle, so wanted to share with the daywalkers.

I love varieties!
Is the spot at 10 o'clock near the rim on the reverse on the coin or just the image?

The top riser is thicker on the Rev of 40 and the steps have a defined start and end with a vertical line. The Reverse of 38 is often described as having wavy steps. The 38 is shown on the left and 40 on the right. Some day I am going to update my example photos to full steppers, just too lazy!
To the OP, I think PCGS was a little harsh on that coin. Based on that image, I see nothing that would prevent it from an MS67 There are some very minor marks on the reverse which is a little mushy, but the obverse is pristine, very lustrous, and incredibly attractive. That coin would certainly grade MS67* at NGC. Here is my NGC MS67, it is also my avatar.
You have an outstanding early Jeff. Congrats!
I wish I had the money to collect more series! Jeffs would be one.

<< <i>Hey I have one from the same roll. I would say 67 on yours since yours looks nicer than mine.
This coin is better than the OP's coin.
you suck, but I mean that in the most oh so jealous way
