You have pretty much got it. The toning premium does drop after the green stage because the coin becomes dark and impacts the overall luster of...
FYI, asking for information about how to AT a coin is a very taboo subject. Collectors will brand you as a coin doctor, and the coin doctors...
This is a rather difficult question to answer. On a rainbow toned coin, a band of green is rather common. However, a mono chromatically green...
You are of course not referring to the most common reason for counterfeiting a Jefferson Nickel, rather a rare coin, right.
Like I said, Training
OK, this is a really obvious question but. WHY?
I would be perfectly happy to assume that role for anyone on the forum unless they were looking for a rainbow toned Jefferson at which point they...

Good example but I am thinking the same thing, what is that, tell us please.
