Message:: [QUOTE="cremebrule, post: 1613218, member: 35227"]I agree with you, and I did see that small section of the Jeffy in question which seemed to reveal the "full color spectrum". However, as a whole the coin simply does not seem "natural". The Buffalo you pictured has great eye appeal despite the seemingly "AT" colors, since its NT is justified by the smooth patterns between shades and no blotchy toning. In contrast, the Jeffy nickel has rather "blotchy" toning where certain shades seem to abruptly end and another shade begins. For example, on the right side of the obverse field where "LIBERTY" is, the color flips from yellow to red to blue in no clear pattern. There is also a thin blue concentric circle of toning that seems to encircle the bust of Jefferson and seems very abnormal to me. I dunno, maybe it's just the juiced pictures, maybe it's just my personal opinion of "eye appeal" or "market acceptability". IMHO that coin is no way NT hands down.[/QUOTE]
