Just got this off the bay for 20$ and shipping. I love jefferson nickels and am going to put together a cheap UNC set as they cross my path at affordable prices.
Thank you! Didnt post grade here as I am debating a gtg thread, but you can look in my registry link in my sig if you're curious. Thank you for posting your amazing coins here - wonderful to see some of the best of the best.
Holy crap! One of my dream coins right there! How did you happen to come across this one? @Pedzola please do a GTG I think that would be awesome with a high relief. I’m not looking at the grade for a few days at least

Great project. I did that set in nice choice & gem unc and a bunch of bonus early proofs, mostly bought raw, between 2006 and 2011. A lot of the best coins were from situations where I'd buy an entire set and pull whichever couple-few coins constituted upgrades for me. I'll never ever ever get out of it what I spent to build it, but it remains one of the collecting projects I've most enjoyed.

Some may have seen this on the Precious metal forum, but it arrived today. Bunch of why’s with this.
Why was this listed in a coin auction?
Why did I even look at it or how did I find it?
Why did I bid?
Why did my bid hold up?
That said, I wanted to add some gold, both of my LCS have not had any reasonable gold bullion in over a month. Also I really have liked Engelhard products. Especially liked their older Silver poured bars (but I sold a lot when silver hit high prices/premiums last year). So I guess the fact that it was engelhard, it was gold, it was certified, and the design appealed to me made me do it.
It’s Not often that a random purchase turns out well and can make you smile, but I really like this piece and am pretty sure I will look to add other years in the future.
Whenever you can get gold a little over melt it’s a good day! Since it’s gold……I’d call it a coin

This one arrived in the middle of a heavy snowstorm.
The mailman had to trudge through the plow mountains to delivery it.

I picked this one up and have no idea as to who or why it was made. There are some initials on the reverse V.B. and its reeded. I have no clue but, it's still pretty nifty. The size is just under a silver dollar size
I should send it back. It’s missing part of a leg.

A 1798 BB-102 (B-20) VLSD with nice cuds. Obverse graffiti and needs an acetone bath but a great coin nonetheless.
Another is a circulated 1873 Trade proof that took weeks to arrive from Texas.

A few more raw ones picked up over the past several months for my Dansco Buffalo set. Just getting around to imaging stuff recently.
