<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 635564, member: 15309&quot;]Most Jefferson Nickels are white and rather generic in overall appearance.&nbsp; I have very few untoned Jefferson&#039;s in my collection (real surprise huh).&nbsp; However, I aslo do not feel that toning in itself warrants a star designation.&nbsp; The coin must have attractive toning in combination with superb luster that makes the color &quot;pop&quot; off the coin.&nbsp; I aslo agree that distracting spots and toning that approaches black should negate the star designation.&nbsp; Here is a photo of my 1945-D from my MS66 MAX registry set.&nbsp; While extremely attractive in hand, there is no way this coin should get the star designation.&nbsp; Compare both coins side by side.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1945-DNGCMS661Label.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffesonNickel1945-DNGCMS675FS.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I doubt very much that I would resubmit the coin for the star designation.&nbsp; I am just too lazy.&nbsp; However, the number of coins that I have that I think are &quot;no brainer&quot; star coins is growing all the time.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t give this coin a star either.&nbsp; I have no idea what they were thinking.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1942-SNGCMS672183-16.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
