<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 763611, member: 15309&quot;]I just received my latest Jefferson Nickel in the mail.&nbsp; It is a rainbow toned 1964-D Jefferson Nickel NGC MS67.&nbsp; The total population of this coin is 7/0 and I already own one.&nbsp; I need to decide which of these coins to put in my registry set.&nbsp; The new coin while freakishly unique concerns me a little.&nbsp; Here are the photos of the two coins for a comparison.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1964-DNGCMS67-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1964-DNGCMS671.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The toning on the new acquisition is certainly more dramatic than that of the original specimen.&nbsp; However, I have serious concern about the originality of the toning, it is iridescent and decidedly dark at many angles, and the black peripheral toning is very distracting.&nbsp; The toning on my first 64-D is much more natural looking and not nearly as dark.&nbsp; In the end I still have to give the nod to the new coin, just barely.</p><p><br /></p><p>The surfaces of the new coin are much better than that of the original coin.&nbsp; The strike of the original coin is much better thatn the new coin.&nbsp; Luster is essentially even and the eye appeal goes to the new coin, assuming the toning is natural of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to know what the CT members think and have attached a poll for you to cast your vote!</p><p><br /></p><p>PS.&nbsp; Here is the sellers photo!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1964-DNGCMS67Seller.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
