<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Farns, post: 463238, member: 16124&quot;]I will try.&nbsp; I also see somebody in another thread mentioned scanning.&nbsp; I have a scanner, but it&#039;s not hooked up.&nbsp; I&#039;ll see if I can get it working and give that a whirl too.&nbsp; The photos I took above aren&#039;t showing the color right, it looks a bit more brown than the coin really is.&nbsp; And that&#039;s kinda how I would describe this proof nickel.&nbsp; Several of my dad&#039;s proof coins seemed to have lost their &quot;silveryness&quot;, and I wondered if it was from improper storage.&nbsp; They were kept in a footlocker out in our shed in Mesa AZ for probably 15 years or more.&nbsp; Then about 15 years ago he moved them all to a safe deposit box where they sat untouched for at least 10 years.&nbsp; So I wonder if the heat and stuff had affected their color.&nbsp; My nickel is still very highly polished, very reflective, it&#039;s just kinda brown-ish.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
