RE: Zombie Jefferson: A Stunning Natural Petina Nickel

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

The reverse also has an interesting look, almost reddish colored. Some of the detail is very much intact, like the steps and windows of Monticello. The text is sharp also and it really stands out with the darkened background.

The funny thing about the cent coins is that probably their making is cost more than their nominal value. Even the art on them worth more. Actually the art on these coins may worth more than some of the modern paintings. Some people say that their vomit looks better than some of the modern paintings, while other people are paying millions for those modern paintings. So nowadays the value is very relative.

A Nickel's worth of nickel is actually more than a nickel! Although modern US nickels are mostly copper. However, there's lots of Canadian nickels that are 100% nickel depending on the type.

Art is very subjective, although there are some universal standards of aesthetics that should always be upheld. In the art world, there's a lot of pretending - instead of "The emperor has no cloths on" it's "the artist has no talent." But nobody wants to speak up, once millions of dollars has been exchanged for the garbage!
