1903 Jefferson, and a 1916 McKinley, both AU.
|
|
New World Estate. Lustrous coins, the McKinley displays copper-gold patina, while the Jefferson features lime-yellow color. Both appear to be problem-free gold dollars in this two coin lot. |

1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-63.
|
|
Perhaps a bit more pale than usual, but the surfaces retain superior luster and appear nearly mark-free. The reverse exhibits particularly nice satiny texture. |

|
1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-65.
|
|
Pleasing satin luster as always drives the eye-appeal, and augments the positive attributes of a very sharp strike. The reverse may have the makings of an even higher grade, but the obverse left... |

|
1903 Jefferson. NGC MS-63.
|
|
Grapefruit patina enriches the color scheme, but can only go so far toward ameliorating grade-limiting factors. The obverse bears close scrutiny quite well, with a couple of greyish spots in front of... |
|
| 1069 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $465.00 |
|
1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-63.
|
|
Pale in coloration and modestly hairlined. Plenty of luster animates the fields, but doesn't have that special "sizzle" of a higher grade. |
|
| 1070 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $2,200.00 |
|
1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-66.
|
|
Post-mint impairments are essentially absent, with nary a ding nor dint to be seen. The usual subtle prooflike character will appeal to many collectors, but the presence of a few scattered copper... |

|
1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-65.
|
|
The PCGS MS-65 grade is utterly decisive and beyond reproach for this impeccable "gem" dollar. Putting a loupe to each side finds flawless satin luster and an almost complete lack of contact marks... |

|
1903 Jefferson NGC MS-66.
|
|
Details are wonderfully sharp, even at the dentilation, which is sometimes weak for late die-state examples. An interesting, curly strikethrough intertwines with the reverse lettering at 12:00. ... |
|
| 954 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $1,050.00 |
|
1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-64.
|
|
A loupe fails to reveal any noticeable blemishes, aside from some trivial hairlines crisscrossing the obverse right field. These appear only under limited viewing angles, and shouldn't impact the... |

1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-66 (green label).

1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-67 (green label).

Either side borders on true perfection, as there are no meaningful abrasions whatsoever to deny a higher grade. Such lofty expectations, however justifiable, may be in vain since PCGS has [i]never... |

|
1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-63.
|
|
Very frosty, and with a reverse that might grade MS-65 all by itself. A loupe instantly identifies a quartet of vertical hairlines on Jefferson's cheek as the primary grade determinant. |
|
| 1222 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $550.00 |
|
1903 Jefferson. AU PL.
|
|
Fields display some reflectivity, but also hairlines from circulation or excessive handling. The barest minimum of wear suggests that the overall grade is near the high end of the AU grade range. |
|
| 1223 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $950.00 |

|
1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-64.
|
|
Surfaces are so bright that they are almost brilliant yellow, but neither side displays any apparent hairlines. In fact, the reverse has a number of subtle copper spots that wouldn't be expected on a... |
|
| 689 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $1,000.00 |
|
1903 Jefferson. NGC MS-64.
|
|
A shining jewel that very nearly seems undergraded at first glance. Meticulous inspection will reveal several wispy hairlines in both obverse fields, but little else by way of distraction. |
|
| 707 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $1,175.00 |
|
1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-65.
|
|
Exceptionally sharp, as is often the case for this popular gold commemorative. Perhaps a little more pale than ideal for a vintage gold coin, but the lemon-gold color is by no means offensive. |
|
| 1281 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $1,750.00 |
|
1903 Jefferson. NGC MS-66.
|

|
1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-64.
|
|
A bit of "noise" on Jefferson's cheek likely denies higher grade consideration, but nonetheless, the luster is exemplary and the strike outstanding. A minor copper stain appears right of the reverse... |

|
1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-65.
|
|
A sensational gem that, if graded only by the obverse, would deserve at least an MS-67 grade. On the reverse is an aberration in the planchet west and a little south of center, and there is no doubt... |
|
| 1093 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008 | $1,550.00 |
|
1903 Jefferson commemorative gold dollar, NGC MS-64
|
|
Patient examination fails to reveal any particular reason for denying this coin a "gem" assessment. As far as your cataloger can tell, there are virtually no abrasions at all, and certainly none of... |

1903 Jefferson. MS-63++.

Five $1 Gold Commemoratives.

|
1903 Jefferson. NGC AU-58.
|
|
Just a modest amount of friction is perceived on this admirably struck example. Besides a couple of delicate hairlines and minuscule ticks, there is the normal surface granularity at the peripheries. |

|
1903 Jefferson. NGC MS-64.

|
A lavish orange-gold effulgence engulfs this issue's delicate surfaces. The few random marks seen, mainly on this specimen's obverse, are noted descriptively. It presents a rather exceptionally bold... |

A glowing example with plush flowing luster and solid detail definition. If only the reverse was viewed to determine a grade, MS-66 would likely be awarded. A couple of miniscule marks in front of... |

1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-63.
