    So the other day I received an album in the mail. I knew there were some toned nickels in it, but I did not expect this when i opened it.
    I almost hit the floor.
    Many may scream "AT dude!!"
    I will respectfully disagree. I believe these to be naturally toned in the true sense of the term.

    Why are they so darn colorful, have these patterns, and so different than other toners I have seen?
    Good question!
    I believe this toning took a very long time to develop this way. However, something else was involved to produce these vivid and rare colors.
    Improper storage, or exposure to something in the air that isn't normal, or...who knows?
    Are they market acceptable and therefore would they make it into a slab? Some would for sure, some maybe, and some maybe not.
    Doesn't matter, they are stunning and cannot be reproduced by modern doctor techniques.

    The 1940 is probably my fav, but that 42 is just ridiculous!

    Those nickels are unusual and beautiful.

    I'm guessing they lived in a smoker's house.

    This conclusion is based on no facts or evidence whatsoever, which is why it's called a guess.
