Í Bummer about the package. It was just the dime though. That gives me hope about the nickels. I have a feeling all would grade at NGC and most with *'s. I also know these were all toned in an album. But as we both know, its about market acceptability. They are my favorite nickels from my hoard for sure. PS.. I have another dime from the same album as the stolen one. Its even better. Let's discuss
That is true gonzo. You will see some that have that appearance, but this is due to the toning pattern And not the planchet.
I bought an old Whimtan oosevelt dime album full of toners. Here a few with the nice and much more rare, pinks/greens.
Newest acquisition: Ordinary common date, and normal hits and dings for a 63, but I really like the tone.
I'm unsure these would grade, personnally I think they are AT'ed in a book, but would love to have them as I think they are beautiful.
This is with out question the most magnificent Buffalo nickel I have ever seen and is the nicest Buff in my collection. Not the most expensive, just the most eye appealing Buff I have ever laid my eyes on. I really paid up for this one and it took me 3 months to decide to purchase it. It resides in an old NGC holder and that's where it'll stay as long as I own this piece. It does not matter to me what holder it's in nor the grade assigned it's the coin and nothing else matters at all. Thanks for looking...DEX

A beautiful set of Jefferson nickels (1938-1994) in an old Whitman from member Kevin (cpb614). Circulated up until 1956, but then...... BAM!!! Uncirculated from 1956 and up, all proof issues from 1956-1993, with 90% of them toned. Like so.
