What does everyone think about my newest accquistion? It's a beautiful blue Jefferson Nickel. It's name is "A Blue, Blue Day".

I like it. I am enjoying toning more and more these days... Of course it is hard to mess up a proof Jeff

Very nice. Someday I want to see Carl's collection too. I'm almost finished with a color sampler that includes 8 different distinct colors. I'm missing a good red. I've got a few weak ones.

From the auction description:

These coins came out of a collection that had been put away for 40 years. The Jeffersons had been wrapped in paper nickel wrappers and had a film of preservative oil on them. They have been washed in a mild ivory and water solution to remove the film using a soft brush.

I know it wasn't expensive or anything but you're probably better off sticking with more original pieces.

Is this coin from the MrPaseo collection?

Nope, I got it off of Ebay.
