The World War II composition of the Jefferson Nickel is 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese. This alloy has produced some incredibly toned pieces over the years. Many of these toned coins bear resemblance to a typical toned silver coin. However, others bear a toning pattern and color scheme that is unique to this alloy. A hazy conglomeration of iridescent blue & green that seem to dance over lustrous surfaces when rotated under a light. I have never seen this toning pattern on any coin other than a war nickel. Without further ado, I present the quintessential toned war nickel.
Cobalt blue swirls with lime green under a blanket of milky tan in a very powerful fashion. Although beauty is debatable, the coin's presence is not. Sure to please some and nauseate others, the toning pattern stands alone in the coin world.
