The mint returned to producing copper cents in 1944, using copper that was recovered from used shell cases on battleships and battlefields during World War II. On full red coins, the copper carries a slightly different color tone, and sometimes exhibits unusual toning or streaking, although this coin is nearly normal in color and fully red.

A wonderfully toned Half Dime with fully original surfaces and not a trace of visible wear. Beautifully colorful, though my photographic skills have trouble catching it, and a proof like cameo effect on the reverse make the observer ask why this coin wasn't graded mint state.

Ex: Louis Eliasberg, Sr. -- From the Bowers and Merena sale of the Eliasberg Collection in 1996 (Lot 1029), this coin was described by Bowers as "Proof 66, Brilliant with whisper of champagne toning on the obverse, hints of blue on the reverse... Certainly this is one of the finer examples known." Graded PF65 by PCGS in 1996 (old green holder), the coin has not been photographed or sent to CAC, but the only uncertainty is whether it deserves a green sticker or the coveted gold football.

One can make his own rules as he builds his collection. One can't make any more 1871 Proof Nickels, however, and the 960 coin low mintage of this issue makes it a keeper.

Flashy white gem Proof-66 Liberty Nickel from the last year in the 1800s, this coin has been stickered by CAC as solid for the grade. Louis Eliasberg collected by date and mint, but didn't always duplicate date and mint combinations by collecting both the proof and mint state examples for many issues. His preference for proof coins must have made for a great display of Liberty Nickels, since each coin in the series was available in proof, except the branch mint pieces from the year 1912.

Ex: Louis Eliasberg, Sr.
The 1920-D is a scarce coin in all grades, but its reputation for rarity is confirmed by the unavailability of well struck high grade pieces. Although this coin is not quite fully brought up, the obverse is well defined with strong detailing on LIBERTY and the Indian's braid. The reverse is comparatively soft, especially on the bison's leg and shoulder, which is probably why it doesn't bump to MS65. Satiny luster penetrates the faint overlay of apricot-gray toning. As a pedigree identifiers, a thin planchet lamination is present below the bison's shoulder and three interesting rim cuds are visible between 1 and 4 o'clock.

Only the photographs of this toned coin can convey the quality and beauty of this low mintage issue. I truly believe that this coin, if resubmitted, would upgrade to MS66+ or possibly MS67. Mintage: 975. Realized $1430 in the May 1996 Eliasberg sale, lot 1222. Sold again 1/4/2007 for $2760, Heritage FUN show (Orlando). Ex: William Dickinson Collection; Chapman Brothers; J.M.
