As many are aware, the Jeffs of 1968-1970 (S - Proof) can have beautiful cameo. They are seemingly lumped into the later proofs from 1971 on that ALL came frosted. But the really super ones are 'rare' and a beautiful sight!
Very Nice 68/69/70 can come VERY deep, but they are tougher than most people think, particularly without the pock marks on the jawline.
71's are even tougher, particularly if you want a matched super frost obverse and reverse. This is a sleeper date.

Agree, a deep 71-S is much tougher than 68-70.
And a two-sided 72-S with deep white frost on both sides isn't easy either...despite having a rep as an "easy" coin.
Speaking of frosted historical figures, here is a frosted contemporary of Jefferson, a " Frosted Captain James Cook" as I photographed him earlier this week.

I do! I have a love for Jefferson nickels and I like frost. So, count me in
That one your showing will work for me, very nice.
I like the looks of that dime as well
Count me in, made this 69 DCAM this year.
Sorry, couldn't resist!

this one's still in the set and needs a quick dip.
There are those who truly appreciate a nice frosted coin of any type, Jefferson's would not be an exception...and you can count me among them.

I do not collect them, but have always admired the look of a frosty proof Jefferson nickel!
Indeed a nice looking example and I can appreciate the rarity of the cameo.

It is getting very, very chilly in this thread with all the frost on display.
I need to get my Birth Year Set imaged.
Not a DC, but those can get awfully expensive.

Nice photos!
TTT, with a few more nickels posted for your viewing pleasure.
That 63 is a beast Kevin!
Nice Jeff, Sanction.
I don't know if I would dip it or not.
Looks OK to me as is.

How is the reverse on the OP?
The reverse frost on the 1969 nickel at the top of this thread is heavy, but not to the same degree as the obverse frost.
