<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 755990, member: 15309&quot;]I would like to present my most recent acquisition:&nbsp; A 1944-D Appalachian Toned Jefferson Nickel NGC MS67.&nbsp; A wondrous coin with green toning dominating both sides of the coin.</p><p><span style="color: SeaGreen"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: SeaGreen"><i><b>Description:&nbsp; </b>The coin displays shades of grass, emerald, turquoise, lavender, magenta, and yellow on both sides.&nbsp; However, the luster is a tad muted on the obverse which yields a rather subdued satin appearance while the reverse blazes away in lustrous vivid color.&nbsp; A strong strike in addition to the color carries the market graded coin to the MS67 level.</i></span> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1944-DNGCMS67Appalac.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Another interesting thing about this coin is that it has been reholdered.&nbsp; All of the Appalachian Jeffersons were slabbed and awarded the &quot;T&quot; designation for the toning.&nbsp; Most of the Appalachians that have been reslabbed had the &quot;T&quot; designation removed and the star designation to replace it.&nbsp; For whatever reason, the graders at NGC decided that this coin was not worthy of a star designation.&nbsp; By Appalachian standards, the coin is tame, but spectacular by any other standard.&nbsp; It is possible that this is the only Appalachian without a designation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Comments and opinions welcome![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
