    Thos. Jefferson was really cool as he WROTE the Declaration of Indendence. I don't have one of those nickels, but I sure would like one.

    Hmmm..... Well, it is my birthyear, also Jefferson's are my favorite modern series and also because I don't have any slabbed toned Jeffersons.

    Actually, Michael, it would not be in my collection. It would be given to a YN!

    Because I won of course. image Other than that, it is a really pretty nickel and would work great in my album.

    Woo hoo, a giveaway. I haven't been collecting for long, that Jefferson would look great in my collection. Thanks for the chance.

    Because I don't have a single slabbed nickel at all. Not a proof, not a business strike, not a Jeff, V, Buff, or any other.

    Like some of the others, if I won, it would go to a YN. In this case, my son.
    I think it would be good for his collection since we have been getting nickels out of circulation (bank rolls) and this would be an awesome way to start collecting the proofs, which obviously wouldn't be from circulation.

    cool giveaway Mike ... if it comes this way, it's for my daughter ... an avid collector of wartime nickels, but she has a love for all pretty Jefferson's ...

    otherwise I hope it goes to the best a$$ kisin' YN ... image JK

    Because in a fit of altruism I just agreed to give my only toned proof Jefferson to Myggy, and once it goes away I'll be without.

    I would love to have this nickel for several reasons. I am a YN who loves toned coins. The problem is, most of the monsters I spot are several times more expensive then I can afford. This nickel represents great toning on a modern series, something that does not command huge premiums as of yet. This nickel would fit in very nicely with the few toned Roosie's and Washington's that are currently in my collection. I would truly appreciate owning this beautuful nickel for many years. Thank you very much for the giveaway!

    Because my daughter and I have recently started collecting together. We've been lurking for a couple of months but when she saw the picture she said we had to post.

    Lincolns and Jeffersons are her "favorites." She's 12.

    Thanks,

    It sure would like nice next to my similarly toned '62 nickel.

    There didn't seem to be a question asked here as to why. But if there was I'd have to say "because".
