<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 588989, member: 15309&quot;]Comin Up!&nbsp; Both of these coins are Appalachians from the Greg Bingham collection.&nbsp; The 1945-D is really cool because when they re-holdered the coin, they added the star designation and kept the &quot;T&quot; designation by mistake.&nbsp; Too bad it is not full steps, otherwise it could have been a triple designation.&nbsp; The luster on the 1945-D is phenomenal.&nbsp; Probably the best I have ever seen on a war nickel.&nbsp; Anyway, here are the photos along with the descriptions I have used in my registry set.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1945-DNGCMS67Star-6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Red"><i>This coin is from the appalachian hoard and part of the pedigreed Bingham Collection. The obverse is bathed in aquamarine and accented by antique bronze highlights. The reverse is mindblowing. Primarily gold toned with blushes of magenta and absolutely booming luster. Although the photos are excellent and provide and outstanding view of the surface and color, they can&#039;t truly represent the luster. An extraordinary piece with fantastic surfaces, great color, and the most amazing luster I have ever seen on a Jefferson nickel. </i></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1945-SNGCMS67Star-6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Red"><i>This coin belongs hanging on a wall in the impressionist gallery at the MET. The reverse toning might as well have been imparted by Monet himself. It is certainly one of the most attractive and uniquely toned coins of the entire series. The obverse is bright gold with pink and aqua highlights. The reverse is toned with vibrant bright green, gold, pink, and magenta. A one of a kind beauty from the appalachian hoard and the pedigreed Bingham Collection.</i></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
