    Can I get a grade for this poor Jefferson?

    Pictures speak for themselves. Poor or body bag?

    Actually - if you use this free site at PCGS - I am thinking between FN 12 and Fine 20.
    Compare your coins with any of the 2,580 high-resolution coin photographs from the reference sets of PCGS.

        Did you notice the ghostly image in your black background on the right?

        Is it DDR die-1? It looks like it.
        With wear it's sort of tough to make out but looks like it is.

        I think it would grade better than you expect. You might want to look what fine-ish grades sell for in PCGS slabs before deciding.

              Yes, it is WDDR-001. Or what's left of it. Thanks for the tip. Will do.

                  Yes, I have not been able to get rid of the ghost (I call it umbra). I'm using indirect/axial lighting and believe that the glass I'm using is too thick.

                    Photograde Copyright James F. Ruddy - Circa 1972 - Fine OBV - About half of the major hair detail will show. The cheek will be worn flat.
                    REV - The two outer pillars will be well defined. The two inner pillars will show but may not be complete from top to bottom.

                    Yes it's an old book but I at least know what the bottom grade is..
                    I see alot of wear on the right outer pillar almost not completely there. The inner pillars are only half.
                    I would figure Fine 12 at best by this outdated book.....
