The Monster Toned Coin Game Thread

5. For Jeffersons, that is about as good as it gets.

5 but after this can I post something it’s the only one that I ever found and it’s not graded

 

plus this is first time playing the gam

 

hello anyone here

 

It is @ddddd thread so you gotta wait for him to chime in. I am sure he will be along later on today, and he hasn't yet given his opinion of my nickel.

 

I agree that toning doesn't get much better than this on a nickel, and for that reason, I give it a MONSTER 6 rating.

 

I am at a nice 4 on the nickel.

@Goldsayshi463 you are up...

 

Missed some notifications for this thread. I would have said 6 on the Jefferson also. These did not have the same conditions to generate some of the wild colors we see on Morgan’s. This is easily defined as a monster in my opinion. That coin could easily be the centerpiece of any Jefferson set.

 

@kSigSteve I added in your vote to the totals as I still had editing abilities on the post above.

 

If this was a game for nickels only I would have probably gone 6. Silver toning seems to have a bias since they tend to have more vivid, deep coloring.

 

I suppose silver war nickels are a bit more dramatic and comparing them with this one is probably unfair...
The previous is very evenly toned on both sides, subdued and lovely, but lacks fire and drama. 5 for me max.

 

I agree. I am changing my rating to 6. Nickel just does not tone as brilliantly as does Silver. That coin is spectacular, and I would be proud to own it. Rating changed to solid 6 Godzilla.

 

yay

 

K but u can’t go higher than 5. Also it’s a penny It’s supposed to be a light blue to a whitish-yellow, rims to the center, on both sides, but camera doesn’t show that great.

 

What?! I mean to put it in large form sry. Light-blue to a lime green to a whitish-yellow

 

When you compare the last two Jefferson Nickels posted in this thread, its absurd that the war nickel got a higher rating than my 41-D. That coin is nice but the reverse toning actually has negative eye appeal whereas the 41-D is blanketed by emerald green, pink, orange, and lavender.

This coin is the best toned Jefferson I have ever seen, and frankly, it isn't close. I think people are forgetting, the fact that it is predominantly toned in emerald green is extremely important. Green is the "GO" color that is highly coveted by toning enthusiasts. If it is the best toned Jefferson, then by default, it should deserve a 6. I guess you, me, and @kSigSteve will be on that island alone.

 

I am not trying to be mean, but that is a 1.

 

I thought we were rating based on the same criteria as what were called "Monster" for a Morgan in the OP. Not relative to the series, but absolute across all series. That Jeff Nickel is no question a 6 if rated relative to Jefferson nickels, but it's no where even close to a 6 on an absolute scale as compared to the pictured Morgans in the OP.

There seem to be two types of ratings going on in this thread. Some clarity as to whether we are numbering relative to a particular series or absolute based on colors/toning, independent of the series. As was noted before, some series will simply top out at 4 or 5 on the absolute scale, and would be relative monsters in that series, but not absolute monsters (i.e., 6-es).
