We were set up at a show in Spartanburg, sc this past weekend. A customer came up to my tables and told me he had 10 Jefferson Nickel sets to sell 1938-1982s.

I took a quick glance through them as it was the busiest time of the day. He told me a number he wanted for all of them. Being I was rushed I decided what the heck ill buy them. He continued to tell me he was a jefferson nickel expert and was selling his junk sets to fund a nice slabbed set. After a short conversation, he left pplease and I threw the albums on my back table with my ever growing pile of purchases.

Fast forward to yesterday I was taking the albums apart and found something you don't see everyday stuck in a whitman folder well 2 things actually

A proof type 2 war nickel

And this variety, was in one of the albums. I ironically just bought a few of from a member here to have for inventory last week and then this one shows up. Definatly a better grade then I'm used to seeing

Nice score! These are the type of coins you want to send in to get graded because they are both spectacular!

The ddr will most likely get put into a holder for a customer

@COINS MAKE CENTS... Nice finds.... Although you were busy, the decision to buy paid off nicely. I really like that '42 proof Jefferson - great year. Cheers, RickO
