Item number: 360247601423

Item location: Boston, United States

A war nickel with spectacular target toning. Both sides display concentric bands of gold, pink, sky blue, and lime green toning that radiate outwards from the center over lustrous well struck surfaces. Some minor marks exist and the only real distraction on the coin is a carbon spot on Jefferson's forehead. The two dramatic die cracks and weakness of the date and obverse lettering are evidence of a late die state. The 1944-S is one of the more difficult war nickels to locate with rainbow toning and this one falls into the monster category in that regard.
