Wow, what a bummer! Found this in a roll, this was the only one, pretty nice obverse, but has a banged up reverse! Someone please help make me feel better!

Oh for those that may not know, this is the Cherry Pickers FS-37.3 (1963 TDR FS801). There are only 7 graded to date.

We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
You still have a nickel

<< <i>With only 7 graded to date I don't think you should feel too bad about the dings on the reverse. They're not horrible.
you have the required information to attribute this one from those small images when there are 94 ddr listed for the year/mm????
.
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.There may be 94 DDRs but only a few are business strikes! There is only one that looks like this! I never look at the 1963 proofs, as I do not even want to find one, then I will have to look for the other 90!

I'm gunning for that MS65FS someday! Hey, if you don't look, you will never find! I'm still looking!

Both of these coins are varieties sought out by Jefferson collectors. The first coin is listed in the Cherry Pickers Variety Guide and one of the varieties attributed by PCGS. There are only 7 graded to date. The second one pictured is the discovery coin for a new Doubled Die Reverse variety. If you have a couple 1963s in good shape and not a variety, don't hesitate to use them in a vending machine to buy a bag of chips.
working against finding those coins is the simple fact that there aren't many looking. working in your favor is the fact that the coins will probably stay intact until you find them. if this was a Silver issue from the same year the odds would be stacked against you.
on the lighter side of things, how are your eyes holding up??
<< <i>LanceN..........here is number 94!!!!! >>
nice. i enjoy seeing the initial pieces!
.
Looks like I may need to buy a copy of "Cherry Pickers Variety Guide" so I know what to keep an eye out for.......
<< <i>I was going to ask if it was a tdr nice findcare so much more happyer nows that it be one ha lol >>
John, is this sentence some form of coded message?? lol It sounds like a description from a Chinese seller!! lol
<< <i>Thanks for the info BigDowgie. And for your suggestion with what to do with my nickels..... Which is what I normally do with any nickel I get, but the strikes I have look so much better than business that I decided to keep them. Oh well, one bag o' chips coming up!

Everyone should have a copy of The Cherry Picker's Guide. Too many treasures out there.
For all that do not have the Cherry Pickers Guide, you need both Volumes, 1 & 2. We all can't just have Volume 1 with the Jefferson Nickels!
the aspect of Jefferson Nickels which has always fascinated me is the long continuation of the design with only the addition of the mm on the obverse. that means that for all intents and purposes a 1938 in circulation looks like a 1968 which looks like a 1998. not so with the Cent, Dime or Quarter which are pretty obvious regarding a 1940's era coin with a 1980's era coin. this accounts for the fact that it's still possible to do a circ set from change with the exception of the obvious War Nickels and a couple keys.
logic tells me(though perhaps with only a whisper in my ear) that somewhere out there is a $200 Mint Sealed Bag of 1963 Jefferson Nickels, and it contains your sought after MS65FS example mixing with a few hundred of his brethren.

Would you rather have not found it?
Nice find - I would be very happy to have found it. Owning the 8th known example of anything would be quite pleasing to me even if not top grade.
