<p>[QUOTE="stevereecy, post: 839977, member: 19884"]Oh my God, sweet! Your collection is something to aspire to. I started my collection because I was at a mall coin show and this vendor had just bought a nickel set that had out of this world toning. Wish I had been able to buy them all, but I cherry picked what I could. My favorite coin is a non-FS 1949D that grades about MS63. By guide, it might be a $4 coin, but I feel it would take $500 to get it out of my hands...it has the most crazy wild toning I've ever seen on a nickel. It has a ton of that electric green that they sometimes get. I salivate when I see it. It now sits in my Dansco Type set, fully representing all its brothers. </p><p> </p><p>Know what I'd like to see? I'd like to see the grading services give a seperate grade for eye appeal. Maybe a 1 to 10 scale or something, also incorporating half grades.
