Ha ha, I'm just sashaying through the forum and I'm like....huh? I didn't make a proof nickel thread?

I guess I'm going to have to post my pictures now even though the ones currently posted are going to be of a far better quality.

But not right now.....its like 2:00 A.M.

I had to laugh at your reply: "Wish I knew where the heck I put them!"

I have said that more times than I can remember.

I can relate.

I spent about 4 hours yesterday photgraphing nothing but Jeffs, I have about 20 or 30 more to go before I decide what I may be able to part with .

If you have your eye on my Beautues , well how I can put this so as not to hurt any feelings ?

Forget about it !

Same coin, two different lighting methods. The first was axial lighting and the second was direct light through a milk jug tent.

This one was also done with axial lighting. Yep, it has lavender highlights

Hey Bio

Nice Jeffersons !

These coins take on some of the coolest toning , and from what I have seen with mine a wide array of colors .

That 81 is a super looking coin !

Alright, no more pictures for me. My camera may have the suckiest macro function ever, so these are scanner pics that everyone loves so much. I only have one of the nickel and it doesn't even capture its deep lilac purple so no justice done there. But I included a bunch of my other favorite proof coins!

Those are some very nice looking coins. The nickels are one of my favorite coins. Here are some of mine. I didn't want to take them out of the 2x2's so I didn't catch all the colors. Hard to do for some reason. Haven't quite figured it out. Hope you enjoy them.
