I have a 1963 proof nickel that is a deep purple but still has the mirror proof surfaces.

The coin is quite cool looking but I didn't know if it was anything special or not. Should I post a picture of it?

I have seen some wonderful toning on Jeffersons and actually see "golden" proofs fairly regularly.

Years ago I bought a roll of "black beauties". A few of those had amazing cobalt blue spots. Wish I knew where the heck I put them!

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 !
