<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 4831308, member: 15309"]The 57-D is nuclear toned in violet and pink and is 100% AT IMO. Most toned 57-Ds come from mint sets and they don't look like that at all. Occasionally you find a target toned 57-D from being housed in an album, but still nothing like the one I just posted. As for you examples of PCGS coins, they are all from the 60's which were stored in cello mint packs which actually have been known to impart those colors. That said, since the that pink/violet/blue color scheme can be generated via heat rather easily, I think PCGS is foolish for grading any Jefferson Nickel with that color scheme.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, you are really tempting me to send my 57-D to PCGS. The surfaces are MS66 quality and if I get that coin in PCGS plastic, I could sell it for a significant premium. And since you just saved me $25 on that E-Bay coupon, I might take my found money and try to parlay it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
