    Very nice!

    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.

    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.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    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.

    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 Jeff, Sanction.
    I don't know if I would dip it or not.
    Looks OK to me as is.

    Speaking of frosted historical figures, here is a frosted contemporary of Jefferson, a " Frosted Captain James Cook" as I photographed him earlier this week.

    (The photos were included on an ABC affiliate's evening news broadcast that included a narrative regarding Captain Cook's final voyage:)

    How is the reverse on the OP?

  • SanctionIISanctionII Posts: 12,233 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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.
