    I bought a 1972 P D S mint set at a yard sale for $2.00. Sent it to NGC. When they came back there were two nickels I thought were worth the price. The one here: http://www.cointalk.com/t206590/ and this one. The toning doesn't show well in the pics, but it is nice electric blue on the left fading to orange/gold on the right. 1972 MS65 Toned 001.jpg 1972 MS65 Toned 002.JPG 1972 MS65 Toned 005.JPG 1972 MS65 Toned 006.JPG 1972 MS65 Toned 009.JPG

    What's that at 9 o'clock on the obverse?

    Also very nice coin!

    The blue toning at the edge. It's a narrow band of blue, running from 8 to 10 on the obverse and 8 to 10 on the reverse. The rims in those areas have a little abrasion also.

    For those seeing a cud, two pics of the area. What do you think?

    Now I'm not so sure. Especially with that second closeup - I'm not sure what's going on there.

    Me, neither. They came out of the mint cello wrap that way.
