Coin Description:
A striking coin with incredible luster and superb surfaces under a dove grey and champagne rose iridescence. I have dubbed this coin "THE AVATAR" and use the obverse as my avatar on several numismatic forums. The obverse embodies everything that a Jefferson Nickel should be: booming luster, near flawless surfaces, no remnant planchet flaws, and fully struck details. If the reverse had full steps, it would fall into the same category.

Comments:
It is essential to have and outstanding representative of the key date to the series in a high ranking registry set. This coin has a powerful appearance and does not take a back seat to any of the toned coins in this set. I purchased this nickel in the 2009 February Long Beach Sale by Heritage for a very reasonable price.
