Where did all the Jeffersons go?

I was at Long Beach yesterday and was surprised at how few Jeffersons were available for sale. The few full step coins that I found were priced very high. If you went to the show you would think that Morgans are the only coin to collect.

FOR SHAME, DONATE ALL NON JEFFERY ITEMS TO YN

AND DON'T EVER SAY THAT AGAIN

I noticed that Jeff proofs in cameo seem to increasing in price - at least at the higher grades. Did anyone see the pricing on the Heritage Sale for the prewar Jeff cameo? Looks very strong.

I looked at that coin. The pictures over the internet did not look that great, but it looked nice in person. I am not sure what the final price was.

$6612 with premium included

What price would a 1968 S in PF69 UCAM bring?

Ken,

I'm not sure. My experience is with the pre1964 proofs.

I wonder if this is the start of the "Jefferson Run-Up" . . .

New reverses . . .a potential for re-designing (at least in part) after that . . . some metallic changes in the past . .. a few key dates . . .a 'do-able' set for the beginning numismatist . . . I think there could be the explosion in prices (comparatively speaking) that we experienced in Washingtons.

I sure hate to see everyone jumping on the Proof Jefferson bandwagon. It used to be a fun coin to collect, back when almost everyone else ignored them. Now, I have to spend money to add to or upgrade my registry sets.
Set Number 1 - 1938 to 1964
Set Number 2 - 1965 to Present
Anyone know of any other "Rodney Dangerfield" coins out there that get no respect? Maybe it's time to change directions!

Here's a FS 1962, PCGS I just snagged off of eBay this morning...
Seems cheap enough?

Hard to go wrong for that price. Any Jefferson from 1960-1970 is tough with full steps.

If no one else has noticed as well that the commen circulated types are getting harder to find in change, let alone in bank rolls, excluding 64's. I've been saving them for quite some time now, seeing as how I run a register, I come across all kinds of goodies for the jefferson series, RPM's, DD's, etc, Just over the past couple of months, I have hardly been able to find hardly any pre 60's...Maybe I snagged all of them up that were goin around my town, who knows. But, my personal opinion is that all grades are going to go up, certainly the lower grades wont rise up too much, but, they will rise. Found a 39, and a 57 D tonight. But from my stand point, paying face value for these older type jeffersons is priceless, especially the MS wartime nickel I found last week.

Sorry to all you Jeffy fans, but the only Jefferson coin I like is the Jefferson Commemorative.
