Genuinely gorgeous. . .

Grade is 65, no FS with the gash (but decent steps). I am not that quick to doubt the toning on warnicks as some of the most exquisite toners in the series come from those years, but I wonder about the shadowing (chemical pooling?) around the chin, collar, "Y" in Liberty, and IGWT.

Conceivable . . .and certainly a nickel I would buy. I'd even send it in . . . but wouldn't flip out if it BB'd for color.

Doesn't matter . . . it's gorgeous.

Just an opinion . . . .hope it's a keeper for you . .

Pretty, but I would lean towards the AT side. But what do I know about toned raw nicks?

Looks like one of them there Appalachian "Hoard" nickels. Thanks for the preview.

I think it's cool, and possibly a 66- but I would naturally be a little suspicious of the color...

I think it will go through as NT. Here's another 44D going off next week w/ cool toning.44D

It's a pretty coin!!

Don't know much about War Nickels but that toning looks suspicious to me. Even if it's
AT I like it.

in my experience Jefferson Nickels just don't tone like that. while the reverse is somewhat appealing i don't see anything about the obverse color that i'd call pretty. given that personal opinion, i'd grade the surface quality as average MS65 and move on.

Sorry to disappoint the "funny" guys but unfortunately this coin wont be for sale anytime soon as I bought it to enjoy for myself and just wanted to share.

Sweet Appalachian hoard war nickel, Mr D!

Nice color -- such always makes me nervous these days with all the obvious AT stuff getting into plastic.

I think 67 is a bit much considering Freddy Krueger slashed the steps. That's a prime focal area for Jeffs, and I'd expect a big hit in such area to preclude a 67 grade. But that's just me, I guess.

skier07 · February 26, 2007 2:43AM

That's a pretty coin, but isn't a 67 a bit high with the gash on the steps. Again, pardon my lack of knowledge, but I'm
not a Jeff expert, but just my 2 cents.

Still a beauty and dandy of a coin, whatever the grade an AT/NT controversy.

It does look like an Applachian hoard nickel. I think they are beautiful works of art!

From what I understand they were all graded at around the same time. Most all got stars. It seemed to me, based on viewing many of them, that the star wasn't good enough for NGC who must have been very impressed with the toning and gave them an additional bump in grade.

Edited to add: I regret selling mine.

MajorDuty · February 26, 2007 3:04AM

I too don't think the coin's grade deserved a 67 and the color to be suspect.

hiyosilver · February 26, 2007 3:12AM

I'd swap ya my ol' silver $ with ugly tarnish I keep in my pocket for it!..........

Does the NGC "star" always denote AT? It does seem so. -Preussen
