I have a pet nickel..........He's blue.

I haven't done hardly anything with coins all summer, and now I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.

Try singing to him, maybe that will cheer him up. It sure is pretty.

 

Everytime I see one of your nickels it almost inspires me to collect them :kewl:.


that one is purty.


stainless

 

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I had to pay an arm and a leg for it though.....a whole $12.50.

 

The best part is, I had a great picture to go by before making the purchase:

 

Beautiful coin there borgovan! I love that blue toning, I found a wheatie with blue toning on it about a year ago, was neat!

 

Very nice, I wonder what the coin would be worth if the entire nickel was blue : )

 

I think it would depend upon if the toning was original.



Still pretty though!

 

I saw a totally royal blue nickel, both sides (don't remember the date) at MSNS show. $400 was the tag on it.

 

Great looking nickels.

 

I do have a sweet nickel that is completely blue. It is an insanely-electric-neon-bright-blue, solid toning, on both sides. I believe it's a 1964 proof nickel. It is not unusual to see wild toning on proof nickels from the early 1960s.

I'll never forget the day I bought it. I was at the Northwest Detroit Coin Club show a couple of years ago, and the price wasn't marked on the coin. I meekly asked the dealer the price. He consulted his greysheet. He thought about it for a minute. He hemmed and hawed. He finally said: "That'll cost you a quarter."

One-tenth-of-a-second and twenty-five cents later, one of the most blazing proof nickels I've ever encountered was ensconsed in my personal collection.

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

 

Beautiful coin you got there, lot of coin for that amount of money.

 

Nice! found a 38 nickel in my car when i cleaned it out but i think mines only worth 5 cents

 

very nice toning on the coin looks really nice. :thumb: i have a bunch of proof nickels from the early sixties that have some really nice blue and purple neon toning. they are still in the mint cellophane and everything some i have taken out and put in whitman set holders

 

wow love that pet blue nickel. Its a real winner, the toned nickels are always sooo cool and fun.

 

WOW! I loooove that tone! It's a beatiful shade and it's a pure gem! Great coin!

 

Very beautiful coin!

 

Love the colour :thumb:

 

Pretty coin.

IMO, Electric blue/red is a very odd color combination for nickel. Frankly, it makes me question the coin's originality, as nickel typically tones a more pale blue like Lehigh's.

Regardless, it's a very attractive coin.

Honestly and respectfully yours...Mike
