FSH: Some very nice nickels and a few other things
solid
Posts: 2,975
Greetings!
I haven’t really participated on the boards here for quite awhile now, but was very active up through 2007 when
I got divorced and had some major priority changes happening in my life. Since then I have sold one business and
started a new one, but haven’t had any time to devote to coins.
I have sold some of my collection here over the past year or so. Now, due to some further shifting of priorities and
the need to raise some cash, I have decided to sell the remainder of my collection.
Those who may remember me know that I was an avid collector of Jefferson nickels, actively seeking out some of
the cool varieties and some of the most beautifully toned examples to be found. When I was active on these boards,
I had many transactions with other board members and hope to hear from some of you again!
I am listing the coins I have, accurately and conservatively described, with the last few digits of the cert # so I can keep
track of things. Please excuse the poor quality photos, and I still need to get photos for a few of these coins.
I am here to sell, with no reasonable offer refused.
Thanks,
Ken

Buffalo 5c – MS
* 1938-D/S – PCGS MS67 Buffalo – well struck, lustrous with few marks. Absolutely gorgeous album toning
with rose centers, shifting to blue and then to gold/green at the edge. This is a stunning coin with premium
toning. I have looked at many of the MS67 examples for this variety and have never seen another with toning
this nice. I paid $2,750 for this years ago. Will sacrifice at $2,000 and you will be a very happy camper! #1408 Photo

polished to the point where Jefferson’s adams apple was 100% missing, making it look as though is head is “floating” above
the collar. This is an interesting variety that I actively searched out for years, but only found a few true examples. Photo $60
