Although I am an avid collector of Jefferson Nickels, I don't collect Jefferson proofs. The reason is the same reason that I can't give an...
Yeah, we posted at the same time. I will respond about that coin in that thread. BTW, very nice pickup on the 1949-D, I like it very much....
BTW, here are the populations of the 1949-D by grade: AU58-----1 MS60-----0 MS61-----0 MS62-----1 MS63-----5 MS64-----43 MS65-----61...
You guys are tough. Since it is in a PCGS holder, I am going to say MS65, but this coin would most likely grade MS66 by NGC. As discussed, weak...
Matt, I like the coin but am not crazy about the photo. You need to get more light on the coin or increase the brightness using photo editing...
In my experience, eye appeal has different meanings when applied to mint state and circulated coins. The eye appeal of a mint state coin is...
The photo looks badly juiced. My guess is that those colors carry almost no vibrancy in hand. I guess $75.
I updated the photo on this coin for my registry set a few weeks ago before the NGC registry awards deadline. I was finally able to capture the...
I think it would go MS64 at PCGS. The luster is a little subdued on the obverse. The surfaces are MS65 quality and it has a chance at MS65 from...
The difference is that I am conscious of when I "pay too much" for a coin and I don't do it with every purchase. My bids are usually what I would...
Can you show us a photo of the reverse? I have seen some toned proof Olympic coins before and they are usually spectacular. The love the eagle...
Certainly toned coins and their eye appeal evoke emotion from potential buyers. But to classify toned coin buyers as "not thinking with their...
This may be my best acquisition of the year. I have been waiting patiently for this monster to arrive ever since I hit that confirm payment...
I think that is a great idea. Maybe after the current coin is over, we can take a little break from the guess the premium and move in a different...
Most likely this one! [img] then again [img] [img] Hmmm.. decisions.
It is not a 62 but it is what you are talking about. [img]
Hey Mike, how do you like the Nikon 200mm?
Blue and violet toning on 1960's Jefferson Proofs is extremely common and very natural. The grade of the coins will probably affect the price...
Don't worry my friend, all of the toning freaks on this forum know exactly what you are talking about. Rainbow toning in combination with great...
Really, most people rave about the Sigma 105mm. I think that is what Chris (Marauder) uses.
