Like em? Don't? Why? Why not?

Personally I've always liked Jefferson Nickels in general but never collected them.

Coin's for sale/trade.

    I like em.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Definitely like. I have a nice set of them. 11 coins I believe. Always liked the big mintmark and the history. And they tone nice too!

    I like the silver, and the luster/tone that comes with it. Jeffs look good in silver.

    Pretty, but every dealer has them.

    In the 60s, a Gem set of them was a big deal and cost around $30. They were very popular, like Unc. rolls of Rd 55 S Cents and Gem 50 D Nickels. I think these nickels are attractive, but have never collected them, either.

    Since Jefferson Nickels are my series my answer is obvious. How about a photo.

    I like `em and don`t even care for Jeff`s too much.

    I even have the Set in Unc. image

    The silver and the big mintmarks are a selling point.

    I love the war nickels, but have never actively collected them. I have a few just because I liked the large mintmarks. But help me out with the date set. Obviously, the 1942 D is not included in the set---why is that? Also, is the 1942 P a Tl or Tll that is included in the set and again, why? Thanks for the info.

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    I hope to put together a set of the War Nickels in 66FS...hopefully White...one day.

    Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:

    I've never been much of a nickel collector. They were something to just plug into the holes of a Whitman folder. Even as a kid in the 1950's, the nickel wasn't nearly as important to me as were the silver coins. Thus, I did save the war nickels.

    But, a few years ago, I bought two MS sets of Jefferson's that had been housed in Wayte Raymond pages since the coins were minted. I suddenly saw the true beauty of a toned MS War nickel. And, honestly, they excite me these days when I see such wonderful toned coins. Bob [supertooth]

    I did a set all in PCGS MS65 and the 42 Proof type2 with a Gem 45 DDR(PCGS 66) in NGC 65 for under 300$. Its my fun set that I keep at home and not in the safety deposit box to toy with.

    Because they are cheap with a cool story and even non collectors find it interesting that copper was needed more than silver in WW2, it is the perfect set to keep around the house and low enough value not to need an insurance rider policy.
