Comparing my proof set to the image, I still say it's a toning spot. I hope it is something else, if it adds value to the coin, but I am sticking with my original determination. Bill |

A third possibility, other than toning and leftover metal peeled from a
previous strike, biological contaminant. Maybe the Mint employee packaging/examinig this particular set sneezed on it. That might explain the splatter stuff on the half.

How many toned 1979 Jeffs have you seen? How many toned 1979 proof Jeffs still sealed in original US Mint plastic packaging have you seen? How many Jeffs have you seen that toned a milky white/light gray with such distinct edges? -- Buzz Huse, MCSE+I, MCSE Iter Sine Fine (Journey Without End) "These opinions/comments are entirely my own and no one else's." |

Bill Yeah, but: How many toned Jeffs have you seen? 38 How many toned 1979 Jeffs have you seen? 1 How many toned 1979 proof Jeffs still sealed in original US Mint plastic packaging have you seen? 1 How many Jeffs have you seen that toned a milky white/light gray with such distinct edges? 1 Yes, I made up the numbers. Unfortunately, I am 1500 miles from seeing the nickel again in person. In my seat in front of my monitor and having looked at the nickel once with a 16X loupe, I can't put my money anywhere but on a toned nickel. I have no problem with the spot being something else. But, I just haven't changed my mind - I still think it is a toning spot, nothing more. Emphasis on think, please. And, yes, I think the discolorization (or toning) could be from a long ago sneeze. The nastiest landed on the half, a drop hit the nickel. Bill -- Buzz Huse, MCSE+I, MCSE Iter Sine Fine (Journey Without End) "These opinions/comments are entirely my own and no one else's." |

It looks like a spot but, then again, sometimes I can't see things even when I am shown. -- Stu Miller Coins in the News - Coin Newspaper (Updated Daily): http://www.TheStujoeCollection.com/news.htm Contact Me (Newsgroup email addy is invalid): http://www.thestujoecollection.com/contact.htm |
