Thoughts on this toned Jefferson

This is one of many toned jeffersons that I have been collecting for the past year (have around 60 or so). Just want to know if you think that this is AT or not.
Thanks for looking and Ill post more for more input later.

  • Aaron, I've seen some wild toning on war nickels. I don't know if its due to metallic content, or the storage situation.

    Its hard to tell from the pic. But, if you like it, and you prefer to slab it, go ahead. If its bagged, try it another time. Different grader may give an alternate opinion.

    If you are comfortable with the toning, have at it. I just sent in a wild rainbow 1960 Jeff Proof I feared could attract a body bag, but which I knew to be naturally toned, and it slabbed ...

    .........it looks similar to some that i have and some i've seen. the color on yours appears to be a bit more vivid, but from the angle you photographed it from i'm guessing that the colors don't really show in any light and can't be seen as prominently when looking directly at the coin. isn't refraction a wonderful thing!!!!image

    i'd say the toning is genuine and i'd be interested in seeing pictures of both sides shot head on with good lighting. that may not be as colorful but it would show how the color and any haziness is sitting on the surface a bit better.

    I thought I recognized that name.Welcome back Aaron!!!

    Not sure if your war-nickel is AT or NT.I,d hate to guess either way from just a scan.

    I,m not sure but with toneing,it seems that if the toneing is nice and eye-appealing the piece is worth more.
    But if the toneing is `bad` everyone says`AT`.Ok Not everyone,but I think if the color is really nice,AT or not`,there is a premium.
    Another question could be.`Has it been dipped or not`.Dipped coins,silver especially, do tone rapidly if not vacumm-sealed very soon after.
    But ,That a whole other can of worms.
