Hello everyone,
My name is Bill and I'd like to introduce myself to the group by posting an image. How's this for starters?

I have a lot to learn with respect to coin collecting, coin imaging and posting to this forum, so please bear with me as I fumble through my initial posts.

    welcome bill.

    i just bought a BU 1951d nickel with awesome peripheral rainbow toning off an old fashioned bid-board for $2. the coin was tucked in the corner of the case and lit poorly so that the tone was difficult to see to the passing eye.

    that one looks really nice - check some of my proofs on that "bluuu jeffs" thread. i just got the pics taken and am still a very proud parent.

    Welcome Bill - we'll dispense with the potato references until we get to talking about artificial toning image

    Hey Frank, no artificial toning with that Jeff. I used Welch's grape juice. 100% natural. Here' the reverse:

    Bring on the spud jokes. There's probably one out there still that I have not yet heard.

    Everyone,
    Thank you for the gracious and warm welcome. For all of you toned Jefferson aficionados, here's one that I'm still trying to capture adequately, but it will do for now:

    Welcome! All new members should be required to start off with a coin photo. image

    There was a discussion a while back about why decent toned Lib nicks are tough to find. That one looks like a candidate -- do you have a photo of the obverse?

    No getting around it, Nickels are cool with neat toning.
