It is very common to hear a coin described as having "iridescent toning." But what is iridescent toning? The commonly accepted definition...
I second this post!
Perhaps you should ask Rigo, he is a member of this forum. His username is tonedcoins. Aquamarine is not a common color but nothing about the...
I never said it was NT, just that it was graded. I am more liberal with my acceptance of AT coins than most. My only requirement is that the...
I want this one. [IMG] IIRC, this was an MS65 sold by Anaconda a few years back.
Please vote for your favorite 1942-P Jefferson War Nickel from the group below: 1) A dramatically toned raw GEM. [IMG] 2) A rainbow toned...
Looks MS65 from those photos, but that toning pattern and color scheme is not my cup of tea. I like the hand detail and the reverse seems to have...
How about a copper counterfeit of a Classic Head Quarter Eagle. [IMG] [IMG] Badly corroded at this point but easily identifiable.

I don't always agree with the policy but I am forced to admit that they do it. There was a rather lengthy discussion about this topic as it...
Considering that the coin is a 1963, YES, I agree with the assigned grade.
Often times the term "MONSTER" is used to describe a rainbow toned coin. Most of the time the term is undeserved. Sometimes it is deserved. I...
That coin looks like it has been worked on extensively, color just being one job.
Probably the closest thing I have got to a woody Jefferson. [IMG]
I can post my war nickel in this thread. Thanks Mike, we are on the same page. [IMG]
The rainbow toned coins always existed! What didn't exist was the internet. When you collected coins years ago, you bought your coins at a B & M...
I can only refer you to this thread in which they admit that the Jefferson series registry points need to be updated. I wait patiently....
I would seriously caution ever trying to price a Jefferson Nickel based on the registry points of the series. After all, the 1943-P Doubled Eye...
