<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 769609, member: 15309"]I just checked out the E-Bay listing where you bought the coin. The reason I did that was to see if the seller mentioned anything about the toning. After reading the entire listing, there is no mention of toning anywhere. Don't get me wrong, I don't think there is anything wrong with the coin. It is a PCGS MS63 1904 Liberty Nickel and I think $125 is a fair retail price. However, don't be surprised if when you receive this coin in the mail, there is no green toning whatsoever.</p><p><br /></p><p>The photos suggest to me that the seller mixed two different types of lights while photographing the coins. Doing this can create all kinds of crazy colors on the photo that are not really on the coin. For example, here is a photos I took of a 1943-S NGC MS66 Jefferson Nickel using one fluorescent and on incandescent light. The coin is blast white. The bottom photo was taken only using florescent lights.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Juiced%20Photos/JeffersonNickel1943-SNGCMS66637434-.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I just hope you did not buy that coin because of the apparent toning.
