Excited to win this one 2 weeks ago. Anyone that knows me, knows that I love blue toning. This one finally arrived safely in the mail. Have to say that the blue colors were very subdued in the images but spectacular in hand!!!

    Very nice! I also love blue toning on nickels. Cool Jefferson. It might be time to start building a full series that looks like that.

    From the pics looks to be pastel iridescent blue, one of my faves as well! Even though they are silver, I think I have a Franklin or two with a similar look.

    Well, it is blown up bigger than a coffee cup and 67s aren't perfect. Obverse is pretty mark free and at the cheek, the marks are due to planchet flaws not marks. The reverse has some chatter as you can see on Monticello, but I didn't care what grade was on the holder.

    I think it I lovely. It is amazing how the older ngc holders , the ones without a line allow the sulfur in the paper to impart great looking toning

    I've got a blue toned nickel will bring it Friday to the 'coin jam'.

    Congrats on the nickel. The toning is lovely.

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
