  The Jefferson nickel series was one of the first series that I collected as a young collector in the 1970s. Many earlier dates were available in nice BU condition for a few dollars or less.  I have a complete uncirculated set from 1938 to 1964 in a Whitman Bookshelf album with a copyright date of 1960. I purchased most of the coins in the set in the 1970s and 80s, with a few of the better dates upgraded from circulated pieces no later than 1994. The album has preserved them nicely.   I have no intention of submitting any of these coins for third-party grading but will post some of the better ones on this topic. I'll begin with the mintmarked pieces from 1938 and 1939.

1.  1938-D with minimal marks and light pastel toning, purchased between 1976 and 1984:

  2.  1938-S, purchased in September 1984 for $7.50:

  3.  1939-D, the closest thing to a "key" among circulation strike Jefferson nickels. I bought this nice example, which happens to be a "Reverse of 1938" for $32 in November 1994, making it the most expensive and the most recently acquired coin in the album. It upgraded a circulated piece that a dealer had kindly given to me as a "YN" in 1973 or 1974.

   4. 1939-S, purchased in November 1992 for $20. This one has the Reverse of 1940 and also upgraded a circulated example.

More coins for the Registry Set. This slider was a little more then I like to spend but still close enough to my 33% price at $16

 This nickel is from the Henderson collection of toned coins. I have some other nickels that come from other collections also. I think it is kind of cool.

   Here are some more Jefferson nickels from my 1938-64 Whitman bookshelf album. These are coins dated 1940 and 1941, dates that tend to come well struck with full or nearly full steps.

1.  1940, purchased in 1988 for all of 85 cents:

2. 1940-D, purchased between 1976 and 1984:

3. 1941, also purchased between 1976 and 1984 with at least 5 full steps:

3. 1941-D, also purchased between 1976 and 1984 and with 5 full steps: 

4.  1941-S small S, acquired in 1987 for $1.25, with partial steps but otherwise quite nice:

To continue with coins from my Whitman bookshelf album collection of BU 1938-64 Jefferson nickels, here are the coins dated 1942, a transitional year with four different issues:

   1. 1942 (pre-war composition), a nice piece with clean surfaces and nearly 5 full steps, for which I paid all of $1 in 1990.

  2. 1942-D, a better date in the context of this common series, for which I paid $20 in 1991, tying it with the 1939-S as the second most expensive coin in the album. This is a nice example with nearly 5 full steps. It has developed some light mostly bluish toning.

   3. 1942-P (wartime composition), the first U.S. coin with a "P" mintmark.  I obtained this one in 1987 for $9.

   4.  1942-S with a flat area on the steps but an interesting meandering die crack that nearly bisects the reverse from top to bottom, acquired in 1991 for $7.

Big points for that SP coin, It sure is a nice one. I have been following the 97 SP but it just keeps bidding out to high for my pocket.
