I'll tell you what, for a big show and the fact that dealers typically don't pack many Jefferson Nickels, it was pretty frickin' awesome! I must have been the only serious Jefferson Nickel guy in the house!
My big find was a newly graded PCGS 1943-D/D FS-501 in.......MS67FS! This will be Pop 1 when I get it attributed. Also picked up 1945-D DDO NGC MS66FS, raw 1938 DDO FS-101 and FS-1101 both unc, 1953 RED and 1940-S/S FS-501, and a few other nice uncirculated pieces. Pretty crazy.
The dealers were fabulous. I spent a fair amount of time with a few sharing a bit about Jeffersons. Hey, no secrets here after I pay for an item! Also, always great to catch up with Dimeman and all his new dime and quarter adventures. Now he is working on a type set where all the coins need to be a variety. Leave it to this guy for a challenge!
Dimeman put me on a quest to find him a Washington 1948-S/S FS-501.............hummmmm............maybe!!!!

Nice!
You are the Nickel Man!! What a haul you made. Keep looking for that 48-S/S RPM!
You know why it is sooooooooo dear to me (our secret)!
AHEM. The only serious Jefferson guy in the house you say....
Mike, It was great seeing you, you really had some fabulous coins. Let’s see some pictures of your haul.
Honest question...I have never we t to a show looking for varieties. What is the protocol/etiquette at a coin show for searching varieties. Do you let the dealer know that you are looking or do you just ask to see loads of coins? Just curious.
Latin American Collection
Fun report! As a fellow variety hunter, I always enjoy your write-ups. Congrats on your finds and looking forward to pics.
Thanks for the report.
I just ask to look at lots of coins.
Wow... you really scored big at the show... Nice finds... Would like to see that '43 D/D when you get time... Cheers, RickO
I usually say I am looking for nice coins, no particular dates and want to see lots of coins! If the dealer asks, are you looking for full steps or varieties? I say , yes when I can find them. Most dealers are pretty cool.
I'll get some pictures posted.
Not the greatest, but here is the 1943-D/D.
Hey MACGE1, I should have been little more specific on that......the only serious "variety" Jefferson Nickel collector!
My apologies!
I love your nickels and your posts on Jefferson nickels. You da man, man
You taught me a thing or two about Jeff’s.
Keep em coming buddy
