Doug, I feel compelled to point something out. While the TPG's may show some inconsistency, they are certainly more accurate than most coin...
I just looked at my redbook and the prices for Jefferson Nickels in MS65 don't change until you hit 1954. My redbook is 2009 edition. Of course...
Nobody can be 100% sure that the coin is artificially toned. However, those colors are not consistent with what is typically found on a NT copper...
I think that when that guy picks up all those coins his rug is going to be absolutely filthy.
Cowboy is getting a lot of attention from the Cointalk crew these days. This thread is just a few days old. Toned '36 Long Island
