Oh no -- I just started a new Registry Set -- Basic Jeffs NFS

I am officially welcoming myself to the brotherhood of Jefferson Collectors. I actually completed a raw set a year or so ago and toyed with the idea of a Registry Set. In the last couple of weeks I picked up 5 Jeff toners from another Board member and decided to finally pull the trigger and start my Registry Set.
Like my Peace $ the twist with this one is again -- toning. All of the coins are going to be MS64+ and toned.
I saw a bunch of Rellas coins and decided that they needed to be in this set.
And I have several from my album set that I'm going to send into PCGS for grading. So I think I'm off to a good start! Hopefully these will be a little less expensive and easier to find than toned Peace $

I remember being able to pick off pretty raw toned Jeffs from some of the local shows we both attend. I've noticed that the pickings are slim these days, but I've always been partial to toned nickels too. This just means that you'll have to be more persistent, and I know you're up to the challenge, so best of luck with your nickel set, and may it keep you from finding a beautifully toned 21S before I do!
Welcome aboard the non-FS Jeff ship. You have a beautiful start there!

Not a chance! I've learned to very vigilante in my searches. I have to be in order to do the toned Peace $ set!
As for the nickels. I look at it as a nice deversion. And I think you're right about finding nice raw examples. It shouldn't be an impossible goal. It might take me some time and effort, but you can still find these relatively inexpensively raw and with nice color. I'm not looking for FS so that will make it easier and less expensive. I have another 5-6 in my album set that are going to be submitted to PCGS for grading.
Thanks for the well wishes.
BTW -- Are you going to Anaheim this Sunday?

Yes, we'll be there at our usual time.

Yeah, I'd like to go, probably around 12:30 or so. I know the good coins will be gone by then, but I can still drop by to catch up and socialize.
Take some shots of those two at an angle to draw out the rainbow rims more, please.
Thanks for the biz; I hope you like these as much as I do...as much as I would like to keep them I've finally realized it isn't right to be holding back the best and trying to sell others. Make sure to let me know what you think when you get them in.
A thought/suggestion on the FS/NFS issue: there are a number of dates where Full Step coins are quite common...my advice is don't pass up the right color coin for you just because the piece is in a FS holder or has Full Steps. The most KILLER toned Jeff I have ever seen was a 1943-D in a PCGS MS67FS holder...the dealer who had it was pricing it 100% based on the toning...if it has been a MS66 no steps he would have been asking the same amount for it. I snagged it (on memo only...too much $$$ for me at the time) the night before a show opened just to work on color with my scanner...even the scanner picked up the color quite nicely. I'll dig around and see if I still have any of the images.

while in fact he has had only one year of experience...
twenty times.
If you can get them all matching those top two, it will be quite an impressive set.

The competition seems to be getting stiffer all the time, but certainly
you can find really nice coins for less than what toned Peace dollars
go for, as well as a more abundant supply. These things just seem to
come nice!
Have fun, and please share all the photos!

Relayer -- that's exactly the idea. As with the Peace $, I'll always look to upgrade the color. I'm not looking for a top 5 set, just a really pretty set of all toners.
Solid - All of these will be imagined and shared with Board. I believe that there are many of these coins still available waiting in albums to be discovered. So the competition shouldn't be that bad.
Thanks

This'll probably be an "F.S.," a "Fun Set."
it's a conspiracy, a conspiracy i say..........................
