Which Jefferson would you choose?

CoinAddict

I would like to know which of these two proof Jeffersons you would choose and why.

dlimb2

They are the same coin...so there is only one to choose from.

Yes, they appear to be the same coin. But I would take the second one.

dlimb2

Well the second one could have been dipped...it is to nickelish...for its age it should have some kinda petina...I would think...second is to washed out for me.

I would choose the one in the middle

They look like the same coin in different lighting. If all I had was the pic of the first coin, I might be a little bit suspicious that it was streaked from retoning after a cleaning where some residue was left on the coin.

They're the same coin, and neither.

So you are telling me that you wouldn't own a cam or dcam 1950 proof nickel?

I wouldn't spend a cent on one with that finish, perhaps a different one, but not that one. Of course, I'm not a big fan of Jeff Nickels in the first place. *shrug*

All that coin needs is a nice quick bath.

Well, as most of you have said, it is the same coin. I had Don(DHeath) send it to NCS for me a couple of months ago. I sent the coin in to have the toning removed because I thought that it was a DCAM. I still am thinking that it is. If not DCAM it is at least CAM. I have not resubmitted the coin to PCGS and I doubt if I will anytime soon. I am happy with the result of the conservation.

I like the top pict better because I like streaky toned coins bettern I like streaky white coins.

Man, I can see this one going either way, Kyle ... I like the coin both ways. I have a PR-68 1951 Jeff with gorgeous rainbow toning. The coin is a DCAM. The DCAM is clear and survives on the reverse, but the obverse is too toned to get the designation, although there is DCAM under there ... which is better? A conserved DCAM and labeled as such or a wonderously toned coin that experts would acknowledge is DCAM, even without the designation?

CoinAddict

I would have to say that I would go with the wonderfully toned coin but that was not really the case here. If the coin had had toning that was multi colored other then just the gold I would have probably left it be but since it was just the plain gold toning I thought I would much rather see the cameo contrast.

If I had one like yours. I would leave it be because I like the beautiful toning that the coin exhibits.

I'd rather have it as a toned coin.

I like the first pic best.
