    Sorry sir, I do not have any of these coins. I do have a question for
    other FS Jefferson Nickel seekers. Where is the most likely place one
    will find a 1968-S 5c with full steps? Would it be a 1968 mint set or
    original BU roll?

    In the past, I have slabbed two 1970-S nickels w/FS and both were
    cherried from 1970 mint sets. Continuing along those lines will
    somebody someday find a no-questions 68-D, 69-D, or 69-S 5c
    with full steps?

    Anyone wishing to share their FS-hunting experience is appreciated.

    Thanks. Cupronik
  • Good luck finding some of those pop 1 and 2 coins ray.

    Pennies make dollars, and dollars make slabs!

    ....inflation must be kicking in again this dollar says spend by Dec. 31 2004!

    Hey Ray are you reaching for the stars.
    Just getting those early ones in FS is hard enough.

    Rolls have not been to good

    About one 1970 mint set in 1200 will have a spectacular gem FS "S" nickel. There
    will be very few near misses. There are some more frequently seens gems here, but
    they will be weak strikes. There are some FS '68-S nickels in mint sets which aren't
    extremely hard to find unless you want them gem too. I've never seen a 68-D FS in
    sets. I've seen enough sets and enough die pairs in various states of preservation
    that I don't believe this one will be found in sets. Four step gems aren't too hard.

    I've looked at quite a few rolls over the years and have never had good luck with them.
    Many people report finding modern gems in rolls, but for me they are far too few and far
    between to look much.

    Gem nickels are the toughest ones to find in mint sets. In some ways most Ikes are hard-
    er and the Ikes do average much lower grade, but when it comes to fully struck gems, the
    nickels generally are tougher. Gem nickels tend to run under 1% of mint set coins.

    I am just looking to upgrade my 65-present CS Jefferson nickel set. These are the coins I need for upgrades that
    currently are "available" (i.e. - they exist in the pop report).

    I beleive that most 68-70DS FS coins that are true full step coins come from mint sets. This has been my experience
    as well as those I have talked to. I personally have pop'd several (3?) 68S FS coins in PCGS holders along with
    several 1970S's (2?) and a 70D. Some were crossed from ANACS holders, some from mint sets, and 1 (a 68S MS64FS)
    from a roll. I have not really seen "nice" 68-70ds Jefferson rolls.
