I just bought this Jefferson from my local B&M shop. The pictures do not show it but it is Full Step but it also says Gem BU. Now I am not a Jefferson Expert but can anyone tell me if this Jefferson is a Gem BU and worth 40 dollars. Like I said I can see all stepts very well with my loop but the pillars are awfull weak.
Thanks

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

The 1950-D is actually very common due to being hoarded when it was issued, therefore it is not rare and is very easy to find. If you were to go into any coin show you will find multiple examples to choose from, most likely no where near $40 either, probably much less.

consult leo or keets on your next nickel purchase.
heck, ask them if they have a dupe or something they would
like to see you own. ask them to keep an eye out for you.

Well I certainly wouldn't recommend this but I would recommend being more familiar with what you are buying before you buy it! Especially if you are paying premium prices.
As was pointed out, the 50-D nickel was hoarded by the roll and even though they only made 2.5 million, they are quite common. Lots of Dealers got heavily invested in these back in the 50's (not that many of them are around anymore) and this nickel saw prices as high as $75 each primarily because of its low mintage. The back side to that was that everybody had one so the prices just never really excalated and stayed there.
But, the coin still carries the "key" tag and the low mintage is there for everybody to see! This is a good thing for dealers and a bad thing unwary collectors wanting to gather up the keys for their sets as they are easily duped into paying big bucks for a relatively common coin.
I'd take it back and do some more shopping. Remember, just because a coin is labelled a "key" does not necessarily dictate a big price.
BTW, I wouldn't recommend getting into a pi$$ing contest over the steps with this dealer as you're libel to end up with him convincing you its a great buy. Just say you examined the coin more closely and have determined that it is not a full step coin and you are looking for a Full Step 1950-D.

I dont know if your branching out to jeffersons in your collecting, but if you are, I have a copy of Bernard Nagengasts jefferson nickel analyst that will help you greatly understand the series

Do I have a dupe? Heck, I could probably gather up a 50+ certified and raw on average MS65 full step set for around 5 grand, lower or higher! Depends on what I throw in there.
