<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 426932, member: 15309&quot;]I recently picked up two more toned Jefferson War Nickels for my NGC registry set.&nbsp; The first is a very impressive 1944-S NGC MS67* and the second is a 1943-S NGC MS67 that I have dubbed the ugly duckling of the set.&nbsp; I need only the 1942-P and the very elusive 1943/2-P overdate to complete the set.&nbsp; I am currently 9th in the registry and expect to be in the top 5 upon completion of the set.&nbsp; Here is a photo of my current set.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/RainbowTonedJeffersonWarNickelscopy.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The first new acquisition is this gorgeous 1944-S NGC MS67* which is a cousin to the 1945-P MS67* as they have consecutive serial numbers.&nbsp; The obverse peripheries show very pretty pink, yellow, green, and blue. The reverse shows the same rainbow pattern on the peripheries that yields to golden tan and finally a lavender gray center. A premium gem well deserved of the star designation. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1944-SNGCMS67Star-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1944-SNGCMS67Star-3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1944-SNGCMS67Star-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The second is my most recent pick up.&nbsp; It is an originally toned 1943-S MS67 old holder.&nbsp; I must admit that I have found this issue extremely difficult to find with any appreciable toning much less attractive rainbow toning.&nbsp; This new piece is the best example I can find to date.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; This coin is the ugly duckling of the collection. The entire coin is bathed in a thick tan skin with charcoal black peripheral highlights and touches of forest green, violet, and russet. While the coin technically merits inclusion in the set, it&#039;s place here is most certainly temporary until a more eye appealing example can be found. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1943-SNGCMS67700273-.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1943-SNGCMS677002-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1943-SNGCMS677002-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I also picked up a duplicate 1943-P NGC MS67 this week.&nbsp; Does anyone like this coin better than the coin already in the set?&nbsp; It is not as dramatically toned but has very pretty delicate iridescent rainbow toning.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1943-PNGCMS67254310-.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1943-PNGCMS672543-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1943-PNGCMS672543-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Your comments and opinions are welcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
