Nice album toning

Need I post my usual reply to such threads?

tsacch · April 24, 2004 10:20AM

NICE!

coinkat · April 24, 2004 10:25AM

great looking coin Russ...As for the photograph, well, that is almost as good as the coin. Thanks for sharing.

RGL · April 24, 2004 10:48AM

Sweet!

CoinAddict · April 24, 2004 10:56AM

Very nice.

Pretty coin Russ! I am about to be the proud owner of my first two toned Jeffs...both proofs I won on Teletrade for pretty darn cheap. (Of course, some would probably think I paid too much. I tend not to pay much attention to how much stuff like that generally goes for, since most of it is out of my budget. Actually, I think there's another thread buried in this parenthetical statement...)

Anyway, here they are. After they arrive, I need to find some way to get the scratches off the slabs.

Nice toner, Russ! Great pics as usual, too!

Russ,

Me thinks that coin needs a new home!

Send it down South!

ClausUrch · April 25, 2004 3:48AM

Looks AT'd to me......Rarely see the same toning characteristics on both the obverse and reverse.
I may be wrong and the coin could go "market acceptable"; but I doubt it.

Shamika · April 25, 2004 4:08AM

AT'd? I would be very surprised to know this. Looks NT'd all day.

cosmicdebris · April 25, 2004 4:15AM

Nice one

jbsteven I second If Cammie sees that, he'll rat you out.

P.S. I see nothing wrong with it.

Actually, nearly all album toned nickels tone like this

ClausUrch · April 25, 2004 4:32AM

<< Actually, nearly all album toned nickels tone like this >>

Please post a few so those of us "album toned ignorant" can get accustomed to this characteristic.

keets · April 25, 2004 5:31AM

hey Claus

that's actually typical toning for Jeffersons, not unusual and not in the least suspicious. the problem lies in the fact that many collectors, yourself evidentally to be included in that group, don't give nickels much more than a passing glance and so aren't familiar with their toning qualities. i believe if you start to flip through dealer stock at shows or shops you'll be surprised at what you find.

Nice coins, Russ. Thanks for sharing the AH Kennedy's with me today - I finally realize why you like them!

ClausUrch · April 25, 2004 6:42AM

I'll defer to those knowledgable with this series. It has been my experience that a coin which is semi-lusterous in the middle, has purple concentric rings along the inner third and toned brown/green on the outside; on BOTH sides

, usually "quacks"!

I would still like to see this coin go into a top tier holder in this day and age.

airplanenut · April 25, 2004 6:45AM

As you wish

All of these are in an album I own (maybe not the best examples, as some aren't target toned on both sides... hey, I haven't really gotten around to shooting the whole thing)...

RGL · April 25, 2004 7:04AM

Agreed, Russ' Jeff is NT all the way ...

Russ · April 25, 2004 7:05AM

<< I would still like to see this coin go into a top tier holder in this day and age. >>

Claus,

I've handled at least a couple dozen that have been slabbed by PCGS and NGC. There are also a couple forum members who have bought them from me raw and submitted them with good results. The fact is, it really isn't all that hard to find nickels that look like this while scrounging through albums, books and boxes at shows. I picked up two more today.

Russ, NCNE

ClausUrch · April 25, 2004 7:06AM

The only nickel close to the subject coin of the thread is the last one and I really doubt it would be slabbed by a top-tier company in this day and age.

Nice try

None of the above coins have duplicate toning schemes on both obverse and reverse as the subject coin in the thread....Try again!

airplanenut · April 25, 2004 9:05AM

Claus--I'll put 999:1 odds that it gets in a holder. They're are plenty of like-toned coins around. It's from an album. As are the ones in my album, which I guarantee will certify, as is the one below, which is toned just like my 54-S (the one below I sold)

RGL · April 25, 2004 9:14AM

Claus: All four of the coins I posted above, although two lack reverse images, have similar toning schemes on both sides ... the 1954, in fact, is even more spectacular on the reverse ...

ClausUrch · April 25, 2004 8:03PM

Check this out and and see why I seem so skeptical......

Nice Bull's Eye Toning

airplanenut · April 26, 2004 1:04AM

<< Check this out and and see why I seem so skeptical......

But that coin is:

A- not a nickel
B- toned more vibrant colors
C- More splotchy and obviously a heat/chemical job

To me, that half can't be compared to a nickel
