Original Jimi Hendrix 45rpm disc of Hey Joe/51st Anniversary with picture sleeve.  THE DISC IS VISUALLY GRADED.   On the Hey Joe side at 11 o'clock,  there is a scuff that runs from the dead wax above the label to the beginning of the grooves.  It is not deep and cannot be felt.  There are hairline marks from 7 o'clock to 10 o'clock.  Again, they can't be felt and are not deep. 8 o'clock has a slight edge nick.   Label is nice.  See scan. The Hey Joe side maintains its nice original gloss.  White marks on black portion of the disc are dust.  The scan enhances them.  The Hey Joe side has the matrix number KA-4850-1C factory stamped in the dead wax.  Also factory stamped is a +1. On the 51st Anniversary side. there is a small cloudy mark between 2 and 3 o'clock.  There is a slight edge nick at 4 o'clock.  If you would play the disc, you might not put the needle on the very edge where the nick is.  There are some slight cloudy marks hairline marks at 8 o'clock.  The cloudy marks are not like a milk stain. They can be seen when looking at the disc at an angle. The 51st Anniversary side maintains its nice original gloss.  Label is nice.  See scan.  White marks on the scan are dust.  The scan enhances them.  The 51st Anniversary side has the matrix number KA-4851-1C factory stamped in the dead wax.  Also factory stamped is a +1. The disc itself looks better than the description sounds.  I wanted to give you a bit of a detailed idea of what the 45 looks like. The vertical lines that are seen on the black area of the disc are from the scanner.  They are not on the disc.  Also, the scans make the disc look a bit cloudy.  It is not.  It is glossy.  Again, the disc is VISUALLY graded.  There are no holes or writing on this disc. The picture sleeve has pressure ring to each side.  Only slight ring wear in the dark portion.  Rest of ring is similar to when you bought a new 45 with picture sleeve when it first came out and it has some pressure ring to it even though it was new.  It is a rather clean sleeve with some handling bends to the upper right and left corners.  There is no writing on this sleeve.  There are no holes in this sleeve.  Graded VG+, probably a bit better.   On the 5th picture(scan) that I included, the Hey Joe side of the picture sleeve shows a bit of toning at the very top horizontally.  That is just from the scan.  That is where the lip of the front of the sleeve.  For some reason it pick it up as toned, which it is not.
