<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 726272, member: 15309&quot;]I find it odd that they would bag this nickel for AT unless they are tightening up the market acceptable scale the way PCGS is currently.&nbsp; Nothing about the toning strikes me as unusual and it bears the same colors as a few nickels I own in NGC holders.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1941-DNGCMS67Star-16.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1952NGCMS67.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It would stand to reason that if these coins are considered market acceptable then your coin should qualify as well.&nbsp; I think Martin&#039;s point is the similar to mine.&nbsp; The colors on the OP&#039;s coin falls into the category that has been deemed market acceptable by the TPG&#039;s in the past.&nbsp; I also agree with Mark that bagging the coin is only one example of inconsistency in that regard and does not represent the overall performance of NGC.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is important to consider that toning patterns and color schemes can vary from date to date within a given series.&nbsp; The war nickels of a completely different alloy certainly show different patterns and colors than the traditional nickels.&nbsp; Also, the 57 and 58 mint sets are famous for producing stunning toned examples and the TPG&#039;s are probably much more lenient on color coins from those years.&nbsp; The 1952 however is rarely encountered with rainbow toning and that may also have contributed to the decision of NGC to bag the coin.&nbsp; I agree with the opinion that you should re-submit the coin to NGC.&nbsp; I think the coin is market acceptable.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I think it is funny that the color is so powerful that not one person in this thread discussed the grade of the coin.&nbsp; Based on the photos, I grade the coin MS65.&nbsp; And not because of the planchet flaws on the cheek and collar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
