I wouldn't buy it myself, but I do admire it - a really common date nickel with very uncommonly attractive toning.
I wouldn't worry about that. I've seen a few of these, too. That toning is in there tough as a nickel steak. :thumb:
If its natural then I would buy it in a heartbeat. If it AT and under 10 bucks, I would still buy it in a heartbeat.
I don't think common,uncommon means anything when it comes to toned coins ,because every coin is toned differently they ,are unique in there own way. To me they are natural forms of art if they are authentic.I have to say you have some beauties lehigh Jazzcoins Joe:whistle::whistle:
