If I'm not mistaken, the 96' bullion eagle have a little more value over most the other years. Mintage maybe? 

96 was the lowest mintage of all the bullion eagles.

There goes my icing!

If I can't have CAC.... NO ONE WILL!!!!!

I’m ok with it. You don’t have to pay that premium on most of them. 

Glad to hear you are out n about again. Sorry to hear your first adventure was Walmart. Hope your Dansco will upgrade.

Lem - does this come in hardback?  I just looked and only see it in paperback.  

Not that I have ever seen. Mine is a paperback. I never really looked that hard though.

Thanks Lem,  They were not very high grade coins like your wonderful nickels, but they are all FS so I like that. and there are lots of slots to fill as you well know.  

It is a big set for sure. You are a lot more ambitious than me. I quit at 1964. It will be an awesome set when you get it done. Hope you have a lot of room. 

Moving right along with the set. Very nice.👍 

I would say most likely it was from a grease filled die. Grease will collect in some recessed areas of the die and will prevent that spot from striking up properly.

I ended up getting a price list in one of the albums I bought. I was shocked to see what the prices used to be as opposed to what they are being sold for now. The mark ups are ridiculous.

Just couldn't match both the way the coin looks in-hand and the color of the page.

I have no doubt it is a beautiful piece.

Yeah, the color of the page looks “off” to me. With that color corrected, the nickel might be insanely gorgeous.

That is one of the things that draws me to nickels. They can take on so many different looks.

@Lem E-

Here's the 54. Not much better I'm afraid.

I’ll bet in the right light it’s a looker. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks Lem!   The toning has actually progressed in this album over the years.  Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing, in the long run?  I like the way they look at the moment.

If they all ended up looking like that 54, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings any. Guess it all depends on what you like. 

Looks like you have some nice pieces in the random section as well. The double eye, 43/2 and large S. Well done 👍

It ends 1990.  I just have some random stuff in the back, just to fill some holes.

 

Very nice TJ. You are a lot farther along than me for sure. That 54P looks like a doozie of a toner.

Very nice Lem!!  I really like the way many of these Jefferson's tone differently over the years. Yours look a lot like mine.

You and I are singing the same song with these Dansco's!  I love them!  I have Roosevelt Dimes, a Type Set (no gold), Mercs & Washington Quarters.

You wanta see my Jefferson's?

Thanks TJ. There are a few toners in there. I’m always game to see some Jeffs.
