Good catch/eye @Coinscratch - No, the album actually ends on the next page, 90-D. Not much to look at there.
Several years ago, I was looking for a Jefferson Dansco album that ended in 1964 but I couldn't find one. This was the only one I could find at the time, so I used it and just filled up the pages.
I too search for these early Dansco albums. I have one from 1964 for Kennedy halves. It only has the 1964 labeled and the rest of the page offers no labels.
Here the the closest Jefferson album I have located. Not 1964. It does end with 1970.
Yes, that was something along the lines I was looking for.

Boy am I late to this party. But most all of my Jefferson proofs from 1938 to 1964 are all toners. Let me start with the difficult early dates:
1938 PR68
1939 PR67.5
1940 PR68
1941 PR68
1942 Type 1 PR68
1942 Type 2 PR67.5
I find the opportunities for collectors of toned coins are immense in the Jefferson series. Most common grades for toners are PR66 or PR67. Very difficult in PR68 or higher. But 66 and 67's are very affordable and their toning is usually a great value for the grade.
@OldIndianNutKase, OINK, what a beautiful grouping of colorfully toned early Jefferson proofs. Quite impressive. I myself would aim for a set like yours. Thanks for showing them. Zack
Here’s the only one I could find a photo for on my phone. I have many more, some grade and some raw. Will try to remember to post some highlights later on today.
There was a period of a few years, 2006-2008-ish, when my coin collecting budget was vanishingly small but I wanted a good project, and my raw unc Jefferson set kept me active and entertained. They're not all beautifully toned, but I sought out really eye appealing examples and bought them when I could. They're still one of the things I get out and look at the most often.
I aggressively collect toned Jefferson nickels and have so many it'd be about impossible to pick just one or two to post . These and toned Roosevelt dimes are hands-down my favorite modern series to collect.

Are they straight graded NT or questionable AT's? If they aren't straight graded slabbed, I pretty much avoid them.

Curiously, I avoid slabbed ones. I am not about to pay an enormous premium for certified coins that I can find for a little above face value - haha!
My strategy is to purchase nicer album collections and cherry pick the one or two tremendous example that can sometimes be had on the cheap.

Here's another example that I also purchased within the past month, for a grand total of. . . . zero cents! So even if it could be "proven" to be AT (which I do not in any way believe), I cannot have gotten ripped off. By the way, I bought this whole partial Roosevelt album only for this one coin, but have already sold the rest of the album for a profit, which means I actually have this dime AND leftover cash after all is said and done, and it was easy.

Here's a pretty toned ANACS Proof 68 with 5.5 steps. I recall there was some controversy about these coins about a decade ago. Does PCGS (or NGC) straight grade them currently? Would this coin cross at either service?

Definetly an underrated series. I'm going to buy a nice high grade toner for my box of 20.

I had a whole box of these war nickels and could not give them away a few years ago, now they seem to have gained in popularity?

@oih82w8 - Is that a DC? I really like that one! What would the official name of that coin be?

Yes. 1942-D/D/D over P 5C overstrike?

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
Took a while to find the reverse photos. The 60 reverse is pretty well struck.

Some very beautiful Jeffersons guys. I sure could use one in PCGS AU-58+.

Recent example that I like and bought for around 10 cents, as the whole partial Whitman album set cost me less than five dollars:

Now that's what I call a "toner", time to lay off the mushrooms.
Just picked up this guy for my type set.

On the contrary, Google is not your friend.
