<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tmoneyeagles, post: 717952, member: 17557&quot;]Only toners I got</p><p>Here is Paul&#039;s description of the coin, that I have decided to keep on my registry, it describes the coin perfectly</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is as cool as the ice blue toning found on both the obverse and reverse. Excellent surfaces and blazing luster along with the toning provide an eye appealing experience that will have you seeing stars even if NGC decided not to place one on the holder. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt136/tmoneyagles_coins/1943PNGCMS67JeffersonNickel.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my description for this coin. Paul didn&#039;t have this one in one of his registries, so therefore he didn&#039;t write a description, and I thought it would be fun to try to explain what was going on with the coin</p><p><br /></p><p>Absolutely outstanding toning of gold and blue scattered throughout the coin&#039;s highly lustrous surfaces, along with hints of orange and pink on the center of Jefferson and Monticello. There are minimal contact marks, and an excellent strike of the coin, and nearly full steps, not only making this coin a high quality MS66, but a high quality toned Jefferson, in general.</p><p><img src="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt136/tmoneyagles_coins/1945-DPCGSMS66OmahaBankHoardJeffers.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Both of these toners are in my registry set. IMO, these Jeffersons are not only an undervalued and overlooked series, but when toned, can be one of the most beautiful coins in numismatics.</p><p>I plan on buying more toners from Paul in the future, until I can learn how to find the &quot;right&quot; coin myself, with these two coins, he has already done that for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>The toning market is not a good place to make money, as RLM stated. It can be a scary place, one person might pay $1000 for a common date MS63 morgan with monster toning, and when they turn around to sell it, they get 25-50% less, heck even more sometimes, of what they paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are collecting toners for fun and to add eye appeal to your set, I suggest that you study up on some toned coins, and examples of AT and NT coins. Some AT coins are okay, Paul has some in his sets, and you really cannot tell if they are AT or NT, but some coins out there looked like they just got out of the oven! Those are the kinds of ones you want to stay away from! (Bright Pinks and Deep Purples perfectly symmetrical on obverse and reverse, are ones you might want to stay away from, you will be able to detect some obvious AT coins, over time)</p><p><br /></p><p>In general, toned coins are not a good investment, but are a great addition to any collection. They add eye appeal to your set, and most add more value, just depends on what purchase price was, and sale price will be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, don&#039;t be afraid to ask around, Lehigh knows a thing or two about toners, and I&#039;m sure if you post a thread here about any one toned coin, we&#039;d be more than happy to help[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
