While looking for something today I came across an old tube filled mith misc. coins I picked up as a kid. I opened it and to my surprise about a dozen Jefferson nickels inside had toned. Some boring and a few that are electric! The colors on some of these are amazing and are purple, blue, silver, orange and gold. Some are reverse and obverse tones. The condition of the coins range from ef to unc.. Now, what do I do with them? 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

I'm working on it. I'm having a hell of a time capturing the color. 893frustrated.gif

I'm just not getting the colors. This is going to take a few days.

They sound cool. I'm sure you tried tilting the coins to try to capture the color. Hmmm, how about trying different lighting?
