Don't know the answer. The coin was untoned when I bought it. It's been housed in a 2x2 & 2x2 storage box for the last 15+ years.

Blue seems to be a favorite color. The one your showing sure is a solid blue alright.

Pulled this from prior threads. The Mint was changing planchet rinses from 1959-1964 quite a bit, and that supposedly is the reason for the glossy toning that takes place with the Proof coins during that era, particularly the Nickel. i have seen a wide variety of colors on the Nickels, red on the silver coins and some Cents which look almost white. another phenomenon of the toning within the cello is that the fields often appear as a different color than the devices, most likely becuase of direct contact with the packaging.

At one point a large group of bright blue and pink toned Jefferson nickels hit the market and rumors followed and I want to say PCGS tighten the grading and started calling the brighter ones artificially toned.

You don't see them much anymore.
