Art1.2 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Here's a nice full-stop Jefferson from my collection. It's hard to tell much from this picture. I'll load a larger higher res image to flickr later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll load a larger higher res image to flickr later today. Here's the same coin from my flicr files at a higher resolution. I think it looks much better. 1941 MS65FS obv by UGotaHaveArt, on Flickr 1941 MS65FS rev by UGotaHaveArt, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 added a bunch of Jeffersons to Omnicoin today. Here are a few examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 And a few more. Still having a bit of trouble getting the white balance right on these. The slabs really are white white not this tanish color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Here's a Jefferson War Nickel in an old ANACs slab. I liked the old ANACs slabs and have quite a few of my Indian Head Cents in them. I was not pleased when they switched to their newer format as they no longer fit the Intercept Shield boxes that I use to house my IHCs that are ANACs. MS64 with 5 full steps. It's a pretty nice nickel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 only added a few Jeffersons to omnicoin lately but they're nice ones. 2007S Jefferson Nickel PF69UC - NGC The image really doesn't even come close to doing justice to this proof. It is absolutely electric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Of course I've got a couple of these, one silver and one not, for the typeset. (The silver one set me back quite a bit, but apparently even nearly-full steps are just difficult.) You can see some of the clear PCGS slab plastic "leaking" over the rims of the coins.

Art1.2 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I like the Jeffersons a lot. Great coins Steve. I like the old Jefferson portrait more than the new design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I do like the way they brought out the detail in Monticello on the new reverse. It stands out even to a casual glance. The new portrait I am basically neutral on--I could go either way--but at least it isn't ugly like some of the presidential dollar portraits. I was half expecting that they'd re-do Lincoln in the same style in 2010, and Washington as well at the conclusion of the state quarters, but they clearly didn't in the case of the cent, and I doubt there will ever be a regular-issue quarter ever again--the special interests have latched onto it and under _current_ law these national forest and seashore quarters could run through 2030 (ye gods). By which time they may well have inflated away to zero face value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By which time they may well have inflated away to zero face value. I think the new design of the Jeff looks good on the matte uncirculateds, especially since the coin has no sculptural depth anymore. I'm not convinced on the proofs, though. The cameos look like they were added later, and the fields are too flat. They're like a hand mirror, not a telescope mirror. If I could make any one change to our coinage, it would be to return to more deeply sculpted designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acan451 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Here is a favorite of mine. They just don't get any better than this Sorry I just relized I have already posted this one. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 PF70 Ultra Cameo --- that's a great coin. I've mentioned before but can't hurt to be redundant - I think the NGC holders and the old ANACS holders - white background against the coin, are far visually much nicer than the PCGS and other "clear" holders.

thedeadpoint Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Agree, Art. I guess the clear ones are cheaper though - and kind of let you see the rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Agree, Art. I guess the clear ones are cheaper though - and kind of let you see the rims Seeing the rims is important - sometimes and to some people - and NGC & PCGS both have new holders that allow that to a great extent. Here's an NGC with rim view. Here's one of the PCGS slabs that allows rim view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Sometimes for very small/thin coins, the white part of the older NGC holder really overhangs the coin quite a bit, making photography a bit of a challenge. And of course their new holder that lets you see most of the edge covers parts of the rim! Apparently if you send a coin to NGC today it will get into one of these holders. The PCGS plastic shown in the previous post at least is translucent enough that it won't be distracting in a photograph. For whatever reason I have always found the PCGS holders more attractive, but obviously Art's mileage differs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I just lost 8 ebay auctions for Jeffersons -- my snipes all came up short and interestingly I lost to other snipers in each case. That's a lot of snipers for fairly low priced common coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Interesting, I'm impressed they have the edge holders for a reeded edge as conventional as a dime's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
