REVEALED My first toned proof Jefferson - Guess the grade REVEALED

I don't normally collect these, or any other kind of nickel for that matter. But lately proof nickels look better and better to me, finally I just had to buy this one. Not in hand yet, but I'm damn excited about it. (I rarely just buy something unrelated to collecting goals I'm working on)

Please add your comments, is this as nice as I think it is, or are things like this a dime a dozen?
NOTE: I cannot take credit for the picture, I justed formed three different photos into one.

I'm gonna guess PR67. I like the colors.

PutTogether · June 26, 2005 2:11PM

are nickels that look like this common?

RedPenny · June 26, 2005 2:14PM

I will guess 68. Nice color.

I've seen lots of colors coming out of early-mid 60s proof sets. There have been a lot of them posted on these boards........ I have about 15 toned nicks from the 60s. No idea if they bring a premium at sale or not. I still like the colors on this one.

PR64... spotes.

Very nice eye appeal. I have one with the same color pattern, but not as vivid. All of the other coins in the proof set were total dogs. I bought the set for the nickel.

I think that he nickels tone the best out of any coin. I especially like when they get that dark, gun blue tone. This is definitely a PR68, because NGC did it, but a PR69 at most other graders. PCGS probably would give it a 67.

some little dark specks in the fields

I can't tell depth of mirrors

Not my specialty but PR67 seems OK.

I will also guess PR66.

I have several of these and the nicest is only a PR66. I have yet to see one grade higher - I hope yours did.

PR66...only becuase everytime I send in one of those Toned Proof nickels from the 60's...that's what I get

That one is very nice! I like it a lot.

Solid blue, lavender, gold or purple ones are not uncommon. It is tougher to get one with a neat mix of color like that one.
