Check this out..... Perhaps someone can request next time to cook up an ocean view Jefferson with green pine trees and two different blues one for the ocean and another for the water..... What color coat do you think Jefferson should be wearing..........

This nickel should at least be required to have a:

"Look what I cooked up" tag on it somewhere.

my ethical bottom line won't allow me to stoop so low as to cook up coins like that and soak bidiots for their money.

How about with the following hype which would also address your ethical dilemma: "These coins have been carefully prepared with our proprietary process yielding far superior colors to any other coin processor on ebay. We'd like to share our recipe, but then we'd have to kill you. It's more secret than the KFC recipe and twice as finger licking good."

I asked him via Ebay if he knew the nickel was artificially toned. Here is the response I got:

I HAVE NO IDEA IF THEY ARE AND EVERYONE WHO HAS PURCHASED HAS LIKE WHAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED. I AM NOT A GRADER OR EXPERT BUT DON'T SAY THEY ARE NATURAL ALSO, I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA. EVERYONE HAS BEEN ASKING ME ABOUT THESE AND HERE IS HOW I OBTAINED THESE. I PURCHASED OVER 4500 HUNDRED COINS IN ALL DENOMINATION LAST MAY OF 2006 AT THE BRIMFIELD FLEA MARKET AND RECEIVED THEM THIS WAY. LOTS OF THEM WERE IN BURLAP BAGS AND SOME LOOSE WITH THE BAGS IN A LARGER BURLAP BAG WRAP TOGETHER. THEY AREN'T CHEMICALLY TONED I CHECK TO SEE IF THEY WERE AND THERE NOT. IF YOU TAKE SOME BLECH 10% AND 100% WATER AND DUNK THEM IN THE COLOR WILL WASH AND THEY DON'T. BURLAP RELEASES LOTS OF SULFUR OVER TIME AND THAT COULD OF DONE IT ALSO IF LEFT FOR A NUMBER OF MONTHS. I WISH I COULD TELL YOU MORE BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE INFORMATION THAN THAT. I PURCHASED THEM FROM A ANTIQUE FURNITUR SALES MAN AND THEY WERE GIVIN TO HIM FROM A FREIND TO TRY TO SELL THEM THERE AT THE FLEA MARKET. BRIMFIELD FLEA MARKET IS THE LARGEST IN THE COUNTRY AND IS HELD 3 TIMES A YEAR MAY, JULY, AND SEPTEMBER IN THE STATE OF MASSACUTTES. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
