Is this artificially toned? I just have not seen a lot of coins this vibrant.... what grade do you all think? the central parts look weakly struck on both sides...

    Looks like a combination of either AT and/or photo software manipulation.

    Juiced photo

    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    IMO, the coin is not fully struck so it will look "worn" to some folks.

    I'm a Jefferson nickel nut. Fifty plus years. I've been offered coins that look like that on more times than I can remember. From dealers who know that I'm a Jefferson nickel nut. My answer is always the same. NO THANKS.

    i am not good at grading coins, although I am decent at the GTG posts when i pull my book out but my book does not offer a ton of nickel examples at various grades. The person offered it to me for a hefty price and I said I was unsure if it was even mint state and not AT. I may be wrong one or both accounts, but I passed on it at the price it was offered.

    Do you really have to ask? It looks pretty obvious.

    AT. Edit to add looks like practice on a worn coin before moving up to an uncirculated example.

    That's an uncirculated nickel. No broken luster, just a weak strike.

    I agree with much of the above. Looks AT and uncirculated.

    54S Jeffs are notorious for worn dies so a MS coin can easily pass for a worn coin, as for the toning it looks to me as a blue Whitman Album toned coin, so IMO that falls under NT, but some feel that is AT

    Whether it be the coin or the photo - or a combination of both.. it is AT all the way. Cheers, RickO

    purple Is bad news for nickels. The edges look too beat up for UNC.

    Saturation is so overblown its hard to say for sure either way AT or NT.
    Consensus seems to be entirely AT, though.
