<p>[QUOTE="swagge1, post: 795895, member: 22402"]Thanks for the comments! I will try to post pics. I bought this coin when I was 16 years old and I stored it in an ammo can. For those of you unfamiliar with ammo cans they are steel cans with a rubber seal that makes a "decent" seal. I did not have any sort of desiccant in the can at the time because I didn't know any better. I live in south Louisiana where the humidity rarely drops below 80%, so I am sure that it experienced high humidity for these 12 years. I will try to take pictures with my Sony digital camera tomorrow, but I don't think that will do the job. I'm going to contact a guy from one of my other forums who is a professional photographer and see if he can take some quality pics. I wouldn't say that this Jefferson is a "monster" but it has a beautiful rainbow tone that is quite uniform. I am still certain that this nickel did not have any toning back when I bought it in 1997.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
