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... |
|
1081 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $4,500.00 |
1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-67.

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. |

1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-66.

360 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $1,300.00 |
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... |
|
361 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $1,650.00 |
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... |
|
748 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $550.00 |
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. |
|
1223 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $950.00 |
1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-64.

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... |

1903 Jefferson. NGC MS-66.

|
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.
|
Amazingly free of contact marks, though each side features a couple or so greyish discoloration spots from alloy impurities. Die deterioration is prominently apparent in the peripheral areas of each... |

1903 Jefferson. PCGS MS-64.

Glistening gold surfaces imply somewhat prooflike quality for the obverse, though there is little cameo effect. Closer examination reveals a coin that appears to have the qualities of a gem until a... |
|
1167 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $1,400.00 |
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... |

1169 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $1,650.00 |
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... |

1903 Jefferson commemorative gold dollar, NGC MS-64

1903 Jefferson. MS-63++.
|
The surfaces of this first souvenir issue gleam with an abundant honey gold copiously spread over its satinlike surfaces. A very faint scratch is detected in front of Jefferson's eye. It extends... |

1199 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007 | $1,700.00 |
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 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-66.

|
243 | The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006 | $3,300.00 |
