My ANACS-66 Small White Holder Jefferson Nickel short set is done. It just took 12 years ...

I really like the ANACS small white holders. This particular journey started with a "why not?" eBay purchase back in 2011, and while it may have been a bit slow, it was enjoyable. The 1940-S was the last holdout, and I stuck the ANACS-67 Gen1 holder in the pic because I like it better than the 66. Now what? : )

If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    Very nice set! And they look great in the small white Anacs holders!

    Any plans to continue on with the War Nickels?

    Hopefully mine doesn’t take 12 years but since I have two different small anacs projects going on I foresee a long process.

    That's a great set and a great accomplishment. Are you going to try to go further and get the war nickels?

    Very neat set! Truly a path that took some patience.

    And honestly, after I got done admiring them, I had to look in my DB to see if I had any soapbar Jefferson's that would fit your set (I don't, but still), because it would be neat if you could keep expanding that group.

    Very nice. Let me know if you start a 46 to 64 Roosie set. I have some soapbars of those in 66.

    At least 14 different in soap bar MS 66.

    A natural byproduct of this search was to pick up a war nickel or two. I look, often. But. It has been my experience that for some reason war nickels in swhs tone much more than their counterparts in other tpg slabs. And to my eye, I find that particular ANACS swh, war nickel toning unattractive. I have one that I like, a 43-P. At this rate, I guess I'll finish the war nickels sometime in the early 2030's. :D

    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    Interesting set. Of course MS66 not = MS66. You have an ANA graded (technical), middle Amos (transition to market grading) and late Amos (market grading).

    However, as a fan of ANACS and SWH, I * * * L O V E * * * it

    Yup, here's the list;

    1938 – P Gen6
    1938 – D Gen5
    1938 – S Gen6
    1939 – P Gen4
    1939 – D Gen6
    1939 – S Gen4
    1940 – P Gen5
    1940 – D Gen6
    1940 – S Gen6
    1941 – P Gen1
    1941 – D Gen4
    1941 – S Gen4
    1942 – P Gen5
    1942 – D Gen6

    Wouldn't it be something to have a Gen1/Gen2 set? The problem is, they just don't come up very often. Lots and lots of folks love the Gen1 and Gen2 holders, and it's not like Jeffersons were high enough on the value scale to warrant slabbing costs. Maybe one day.

    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    Congrats on a cool collecting accomplishment! Any thoughts on expanding the set to say, 1950? That way, you could include the war nickels through the popular 1950D issue without having to find dates in the 50's and 60's which may prove difficult to locate in those holders.

    Neat! Good things come to those who wait. A COOL set for sure. I'm also with you, I love the older white ANACS slabs.
