Owner's Comments

1951 PCGS MS66 Jefferson 5c Nickel "with Gorgeous Blue Patina over Brilliant Mint Frost". Purchased for $24.98 total ($21.21 bid + $3.77 shipping) in 6-bid eBay auction 7/9/2023 (but invoice said 7/10/2023) at Connor's suggestion. After it came, I was impressed by the toning, which isn't captured adequately in the photos
