Jefferson Nickels ...Where to buy?
Hello All,
I am trying to upgrade my set, but it seems a lot of dealers do not really handle or sell Jefferson Nickels in mint state...they are only concerned with the proofs and that is barely. Like I said, I am looking for the rare dates in Full Step and the die varieties in Full Step. Also looking for Full Step rolls! Most of the are cheap in lower grades but I am looking for higher graded examples and generally know about how much to pay. Thanks for your time with this endeavor. Best Regards, Xavier |

Best Regards, Xavier Heh--'38 PCGS MS66 Jeff gets around 650-700. You want a whole roll of those? These sites have a large inventory of all kinds of nickels-- http://www.jakesmp.net/index.html http://coin-shop.com/ http://www.davidlawrence.com/ http://www.cheapslabs.com/index.php http://www.northeastcoin.com/inventory.jsp http://www.heritagecoins.com/ I seriously doubt you could get any rolls of scarce high-grade FS Jeffs. They'd charge you for some that may end up not FS. You could always send an e-mail to a dealer and tell them what you are looking for. Or start buying mint sets--some guy had to look thru about 1000 sets to find a single early 70's late 60's Jefferson--can't remember the year--but anyhow you get the idea. For certain years there's only been dozens found with full steps and they are very expensive and no doubt encapsulated. So for example if you wanted a roll of '70D's that were both above MS66 and with full steps you would probably have to find more than what is known to exsist to make a whole roll up. HTH--happy hunting ;-) |

Try Anthony's BH (baseball heaven) he sells really
great coins ( and at full price). You can find his advertisements in CoinAge Magazine and on the web if you're a little persistent. |

HTH--happy hunting ;-) Thank you. I know what you mean about searching and putting together rolls. I did that for several rare date rolls of the early to mid 1950's. It was money well spent & of course I have all of these "duds" or no-steppers that I would like to sell, but cannot seem to find the time for selling (too busy trying to find quality original rolls). Don't get me wrong, I am not wealthy by any means. When I was much younger I use to collect rolls of Morgan's and singles too. When I find a few rolls worth buying I sell a dollar or two for compensation. The last coin show I went to offered a lot of opportunities for my collection, but I made a good choice of going without a single intention of buying at that time. I like to see dealers who are honest and have a good understanding of business ethics without trying to be a pushy salesperson. Then I view their offerings, get the business card (if they don't have one, that is no problem...I have a very good photographic memory, so a name works as well). So far, I've contacted several by phone and have ordered from them with great success and plan on making some purchases at the next local show. Thanks again, Xavier |
