<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 723531, member: 15309&quot;]The World War II composition of the Jefferson Nickel is 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese.&nbsp; This alloy has produced some incredibly toned pieces over the years.&nbsp; Many of these toned coins bear resemblance to a typical toned silver coin.&nbsp; However, others bear a toning pattern and color scheme that is unique to this alloy.&nbsp; A hazy conglomeration of iridescent blue &amp; green that seem to dance over lustrous surfaces when rotated under a light.&nbsp; I have never seen this toning pattern on any coin other than a war nickel.&nbsp; Without further ado, I present the quintessential toned war nickel.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1942-SPCGSMS66OGHObv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1942-SPCGSMS66OGHRev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Cobalt blue swirls with lime green under a blanket of milky tan in a very&nbsp; powerful fashion.&nbsp; Although beauty is debatable, the coin&#039;s presence is not.&nbsp; Sure to please some and nauseate others, the toning pattern stands alone in the coin world.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
