<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 542926, member: 15309&quot;]This is my newest Jefferson Nickel addition to my registry set.&nbsp; Surprisingly, I only upgraded from an MS66 to an MS66*, but what a star.&nbsp; The obverse has a golden orange center that explodes into concentric bands of bright pink, blue-violet, light green, yellow, pink again, lime green, and orange.&nbsp; Just a cornucopia of color on very pleasing surfaces.&nbsp; The reverse is has few too many marks for a true MS66, but I can&#039;t fault NGC for market grading this beauty.&nbsp; Much more subdued toning of intermingled yellow and violet with blushes of magenta at the peripheries.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin replaces a very attractive NGC MS66 that has intermingled brown, violet, and mint green on both sides.&nbsp; Here are photos of both the new and the old.&nbsp; Enjoy!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1949-DNGCMS66StarObv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1949-DNGCMS66StarRev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1949-DNGCMS66Star.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1949-DNGCMS661992-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Comments and opinions welcome!&nbsp; Does anyone like the old coin better?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
