Rainbow Toned NGC 1945-S Jefferson War Nickel

I would like to get opinions about this coin currently in auction. Do you like it? Dislike? Let me know!

I like it, but it seems a bit much, I prefer golds and blues, not so much pink maybe.

Absolutely stunning. I prefer purples, blues, and reds, but that one is put together very nicely. Is that one being sold by Heritage?

Insane!

I'll bet it's a bad picture, too. The toning is probably out-of-this world.

It is currently in the February Long Beach Sale from Heritage.




I have an idea of how much it will sell for. How much do you guys think it will realize?

Doctor, doctor tell me the news,

Something about it says "I little bit to nice to be real" don't get me wrong it a beaut but thats the first thought I had. I have seen pretty War Jeffs before but never with that much pink and red in the center.
