<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 4736495, member: 15309&quot;]When collecting something other than Morgan Dollars, do you ever compare them to Morgan Dollars?&nbsp; My answer would be no, I compare Jefferson Nickels to other Jefferson Nickels.&nbsp; You could make an argument for comparing Jefferson Nickels to Buffalo or Liberty Nickels since they are the same size and alloy, but comparing them to Silver Dollars and employing an &quot;absolute&quot; scale makes this thread basically a 20th Century Silver and Morgan Dollar thread.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The coverage of emerald green on that nickel puts it very close to a 6, even on the absolute scale.&nbsp; I can understand people calling it a 5, anything else is insulting.&nbsp; The fact that a war nickel with a negative eye appeal reverse pulled a 4.8 in this thread, and my 41-D pulled a 4.7 is insulting.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We get it, you are using an &quot;absolute&quot; scale.&nbsp; If we were supposed to be using an absolute scale, that was not adequately communicated in the OP.&nbsp; The only examples provided for the scale were Morgan Dollars so I assumed that was the scale for Morgan Dollars and that when a coin other than a Morgan Dollar was posted, people would use a relative scale to evaluate the toning on a coin with a different alloy and size.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
