Impulse purchase from yesterday.
I think it's interesting that there is no other color present in the toning.

    Cool blue, congrats, I saw a 61 jeff at long beach a few weeks ago
    in a standard 2x2 for $400 that was cool blue, he also was selling
    a lot of pandas.

    The toning is due to the plastic that was in use during that era of NGC holders. I bought
    a 1955 PF68 25c when I was just getting back into the hobby that looked very similar
    although with some purple in the mix. Thought it was cool at first, but eventually got
    tired of it and sold it.

    The colorful skin on many of those "electric" proof Jeffersons is of questionable origin, so be careful.

    One of the few toners I would have an interest in. That thing is cool! Cool Blue!

    Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:

    I disagree, most blue/purple toned proof nickels from proof sets toned in the government plastic and are more common than people think!

    The old, no-line NGC holders house many blue coins and it is my belief that these coins were largely white when submitted and that the paper insert in the slab caused the toning over time. They are very cool.
