My Jefferson Nickel Set (WARNING: Large Images)

Down to 2 coins in the set, and they're on the way. Ordered off of eBay. Just thought I'd share. Enjoy!

nice looking set now you can start the slow and cool process of upgrading them as you see fit if you so choose.

[MunkyMan95]

The first upgrade will probably be the 1939-D. After the 1950-D, it's really the only KEY to the series. I got it in G for about $5, looking for XF-AU. I got the 50-D in BU so I'm good on that end. I also started a peace dollar set, so I'll be working on that also.

Great collection. I think you should aim to downgrade the '50-D. Circs are much more difficult to find for that issue than uncs. Getting the collection to a relatively uniform grade could be a significant challenge, and then you'll discover what's truly "key" and what's not.

Chad did you win the lottery, get a new job, what happenned? You're coming up with all kinds of new stuff. Nice set

 

P.S.keep an eye on 73D - he's trying to get away

[MunkyMan95]

Winston... I don't have the 73-D yet. that's the coin on the other page behind it.

 

My grandpa started this set in the 60's, and got about 80% of the 1938-64 run. Then my grandmother on my mom's side gave me the 1964-1996 set for Christmas a few years ago, about 65% done. I just had to fill in the rest, and buy the Dansco.

It appears that I just gave away the fact that I don't own any albums

That's a very handsome set, Chad!

That's a very handsome set, Chad!

 

Thanks Tom!

 

Hoot, would you reccomend carrying the very BU coins as pocket pieces for a while? They'd get circulated like the rest. I'd just have to make sure not to spend them...

[TomB]

I wouldn't carry them in your pocket for a few reasons that include the fact that these coins should be able to be found fairly quickly at a larger show and also because you might wear them down, but it is unlikely you will build up a patina from carrying them around.

The '50-D is the only coin to sell for much in circulated

grades but otherwise isn't really the key to the series.

All of the '82-P varieties are scarcer in unc and far scarcer

in choice or gem. There are probably a few other post '64

issues that are scarcer in unc. These sell for much less

because there is much less demand.

sounds like a good idea,nice set Chad

[Hoot]

You'll be able to find a nice circulated '50-D, Chad. If you'd like, I can keep my eyes peeled for one on your behalf.
