I just received this rainbow toned 1964 Jefferson Nickel. Please vote in the attached poll as to whether you believe the coin is Artificially Toned/Questionably Toned or Naturally Toned/Market Acceptable. If you wanna give you opinion on the grade of the coin, feel free to do so in the comment section.
I think its MA as I have bought several PCGS/NGC coins with a very similar toning. Because of the "hits" the best I would grade it is MS63.
I have the grade at MS64. The obverse toning looks fine but the pattern and color scheme on the reverse is reminiscent of an Appalachian and a little more questionable given this isn’t a war nickel. I still think it is MA, but it’s close.
I have a hard time getting the patina to show, this is the best I can do with my camera, what cam u using?
I use A piece of black satin for my background but am limited on my lighting. Florence and a single 100w lamp.. I'm working on getting something else for my work station but do not know what to get yet. Thanks for the advice.
