<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1111753, member: 15309&quot;]Darryl,</p><p><br /></p><p>When I said they were easy to find, I meant you could locate one on E-Bay within a few weeks.&nbsp; You have to remember that there are coins in my collection that have taken me years to find a suitable representative of the date/mm.&nbsp; There is no way you are going to get coins like yours for $2 bucks unless you buy unopened proof sets and get lucky, like you did.&nbsp; But a mid grade 60&#039;s proof Jefferson certified by NGC or PCGS with purple, blue, or gold toning will normally run you about $25 on E-Bay.&nbsp; Here is an example of a PCGS blue proof even if the photos don&#039;t do it justice.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1961-JEFFERSON-NICKEL-PCGS-PR65-cobalt-blue-toner-/140503789748?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item20b6adb0b4#ht_500wt_1156" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1961-JEFFERSON-NICKEL-PCGS-PR65-cobalt-blue-toner-/140503789748?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item20b6adb0b4#ht_500wt_1156" rel="nofollow">1961 JEFFERSON NICKEL PCGS PR65 cobalt blue toner</a></p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, I am just thrilled that the appeal of toned coins can be enjoyed by collectors of every financial background.&nbsp; In the toned coin world, eye appeal is paramount.&nbsp; And everyone covets what pleases their own eye.&nbsp; Therefore, the most expensive outrageous rainbow toned coin in the world may do very little to excite a collector who is much more impressed by subtle original attractive toning that drives little to no premium.&nbsp; The following 1938-D Jefferson is a perfect example of toned coin that drives no premium.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JN1938-DNGCMS67wlabel.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate the kind words about my experience with toned coins but I much prefer the word &quot;enthusiast&quot; to &quot;expert.&quot;&nbsp; Having said that, I am always happy to answer questions about toned coins to the best of my ability.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
