Stopped in at the Valero today for some consumables. Wasn't going to stop at first, but, then realized I was almost out. I needed a one liter coke anyway. I payed the clerk, got my change, and before I could hit the door I was checking the coins out. 1945-P. What struck me as odd was the toning.

The sky was overcast high up. Lots of light to take the picture in. I took it from the cab of my pickup while the nickel sat on my leg. The toning is actually just a bit lighter. My guess is that this one was in a roll that has been put away for quite a while or just re-entered circulation from a collection. The toning is sweet. I dig this coin. This is also my first known silver cash-back coin.

That is one sweet toned nickel man. Off of the subject, but I think the Colts are going to smoke the Patriots in this upcoming game. Just a hunch.

Later!

WTG,I think I can see the tone,I'm just a wee bit color blind.Does the tone add to the value ?

Not sure. I don't think it would for a circulated coin. It does, however, add to the 'cool' factor.

May the best team win Shanko. GO PATS!! I've been a Pats fan since the early 70's, through all the bad years when they were the Patsies, and I love my team and want them to win. But I'll tell you what, if the Colt's do win, I'll be happy for them, especially Peyton, Harrison and Coach Dungy, and I'll root for them in the Super Bowl. With that said, I think it's a very big IF, lol! Tom Brady just doesn't lose games like this!

Sorry to hijack your thread there Will.Root.For.Patriots.Against.Colts, that sure is a nice war nickel. ALWAYS check your change!!

oh! A long timer!! Manning better have his game face on so no one will be able to see his pain. You could see it in Brady's eyes against the chargers that his team was on the edge of giving one up. I'll bet he lays down the law and we won't see that kind of sorry performance again. Must have been divine intervention with that last field goal.
