Owner Comments:

Mintage: 280 Million
Full Step Availability: 0.03%
Date/mm Information: Poor details and rough surfaces combine to create coins that, for the most part, are really miserable.

Coin Description: Stunning rainbow toning and flashy luster is the key to great eye appeal and this coin has both. Beautiful bands of cherry, lemon, cerulean, pink, and gold emanate from the bottom and graduate to stunning ice blue above Jefferson's jawline. The reverse also displays the intense ice blue patina over most of the surface. The marks are commensurate for the grade and I am surprised that this coin didn't star.

Comments: As of 2020, this coin is still a top pop at MS66 and I can guarantee that the others don't look like this one. What does it take to get me excited about a sixties Denver Jefferson? This coin is what it takes. I bought it on eBay in 2015 for $150, a steal when you think about it.
