This was my coin- there isn't an everyman set for Jeff's but there are a few type sets with a Jeff slot. A lot of the top sets only had an AU58 in that slot and AU58+ is a surprisingly tough grade to land. With all of that said I was very pleasantly surprised with the hammer price- I was expecting $300-$400. Definitely check your Danscos!

Another missed opportunity for your type set?
I was bidding but I was not the winner.
But, WHY😮
My guess is it was a beauty.

I was watching that one, just out of curiosity. For reference, PCGS Guide for a 67 of that date/mm is $135.
Also, here’s the coin in question, AU58+:

Nothing is as expensive as free money.

There is not even an Everyman Registry Set of Jefferson Nickels.
So is syphilis, but I wouldn’t seek it out.

Maybe someone is building one in anticipation. Looks like a Pop 1.

Time to pull out the old Dansco. I haven't checked those Jeff's in the past few years! 😂 🤣 🫣

I'd say the + did it. Only pop of 1 PCGS. Nice color also.

au58+ has been bringing stratospheric premiums for a LONG time now. even harder to attain than po01.
i THINK it was GC, if you search their archives for au58+, brace yourself.
Wow... Nice price for a Jefferson nickel.... Someone has a plan for it... not sure what plan. Cheers, RickO
