Message:: [QUOTE="ddddd, post: 4939149, member: 22377"]You have to admit that there are very few Jeffersons out there that are $2k+ coins. I've seen some fantastic examples in the $50-$250 range. Compared to other series, it's just not common to see super expensive Jeffersons. That doesn't mean the toning isn't special; it's just a reflection of the general market and how it values certain coins. Another thing that has been mentioned, is some coins just don't tone to the levels seen on Morgans. People that collect Morgans (like me) have a harder time appreciating the color on a Jefferson. Now I've seen some Jeffersons that I really like but the number is much lower. In round 1 of this thread, we were comparing to Morgans so there was little chance of a nickel reaching the upper scores. In round 2, we have switched more to personal preference. This will bring out some high scores for nickels but it will also lead to some lower ones as more bias is introduced. If we did a nickels only thread and had the same 1-6 scoring with only nickel examples, then the coins [USER=15309]@Lehigh96[/USER] posted would reach score closer to what you two have given so far. Edit: I'd seriously consider taking that $500 offer on your nickel. It's a cool coin, but based on what I've seen, that is moon money and you could replace the one coin with several just as strong.[/QUOTE]
