  • no expert here, but all of them except the last one looks AT. They dont look bad or anything, just not my cup of tea.

    I love the colors/toning that can be found on coins but it's only one quality.

    I disagree that these are AT. But one things for certain, those are some marvelous Jeffersons. The color progression looks appropriate for NT. image

    Edit to add: They do appear to have come from the same album image

    Photos look helped, but I think they are NT.

    did they come from a "library of coin" album? I have my grandfather's collection and they look just like them... very cool!

    Coins are NT, but the images are over saturated in my opinion. Still, I bet they are pretty.

  • I like the last one the best... BTW why did you only have them for a minute or two?
  • DRUNNERDRUNNER Posts: 3,898 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Superb.

    I have no ability at the moment to post pix, but they look like some I collect, and I love them. Well done . . .

    I vote NT with poor quality pics (sorry) causing the confusion.

    <<<I like the last one the best... BTW why did you only have them for a minute or two? >>>

    Only for a minute or two because 3 sold to the fist person I showed them to the day I got them.

    The last one sold to the second person I showed it to the same day.



    The pic's are spot on. the coins Glow!

    Two OTT lights and NO Color adjustments made!

    The new owner of the coins just bought 6 more nickels from me a while ago and said he Loved these!

    Here is one from the set that PCGS liked it was submitted to them because of the Full Steps (not by me.) along with 3 others w/FS and similar toning

    The close ups where shot with diffused lighting to show color

    I managed to purchase the rest of the set still in the holder and will show a pic some time next week when they arrive.

    I bought a full set of Jeffs (1938 through 1974, anyway) in a large lucite holder that had some nice rainbow toning very similar to the coins in the OP (though not as bright). I sold many of them to another forum member, I'll leave it up to him if he wants to show any pics of them, but the toning was absolutely NT and came from long-term storage in the holder.

    Technically the coin is a MS64 plus 1 point for toning. It's good to see such coins with strike problems, carbon spots, nicks and abrasions not ending up in MS66 and MS67 holders just for their toning. Early on this was the case and collectors were losing their shirts bidding up these coins for their registry sets. I'd like to say that only time will tell how these coins will do when they were OG in the market but that has already happened with dismay results. You would think a "buyer beware" would come from some of those zealous buyers, to warn others of their mistakes. But as usual, they really had nothing to offer the collective community to begin with, they were only in it for the money and they lost.
