Smokerider, I don't have any "uncirculated" coins as such, but I get 2011-Ds that are on their first go-round through my drawer all the time (and by "first go-round" I mean "no dings, still bright and shiny, etc."). I'd be happy to keep my eye out for a few days and grab one for you.

Congrats on this milestone! I'm close to filling my 8113. I still need to belly up and get a 39-S.

 Congratulations, very nice looking set. I still have some early ones to upgrade before mine is all Unc/Prf like that one but the jefferson is a really great looking coin in those conditions. On a side note to that I HATE the newer obverse, whoever decided to replace the obverse permanently with that mickey mouse token face should be dipped in honey and buried halfway in the desert sand next to fire ant hills.

NICE! Curious how your 1939 coins stack up, as far as the "Reverse of 40"? I believe there are PDS, reverse of 39, and, PDS, reverse of 40 options..google this topic, and, you can pullup pics of the steps to identify these...tough on worn coins, easy on VF on up... Also, any DDO / DDR/RPM/OMM's in your album...? http://www.pcgs.com/Prices/PriceGui...erson+NickelCurious Cal

Great set! One of my favorites, and I am sure you found out like me, that this set is alot harder to put together than one might think! Finding very high quality nickels in a PM driven market is frustrating. Dealers look at you like you have two heads if you come looking for nickels, especially high grade nickels.

Didn't realize I only had the notation on the 39D. 39 P&D are rev 40, the S is rev 38. None of the DDs or those types of varieties. I am pretty happy with the set as it stands, so I will work on finishing my other Danscos and then work on varieties like that. The Lincoln book is gonna kill me when I get to those first two pages. LOL
ratio, exactly! Asking for modern coins is like asking for a pile of horse turds. I mean I get that the old coins bring in more dollars, but not to the virtual exclusion of moderns. And here is what those fools don't realize. The guys that DO have moderns for my books, I usually walk away with classics as well. Look over in classic forum at my 1795 Liberty Cap post. The FIRST thing I looked at at that dealers table were his proof Kennedys. I snagged one of the silver proofs I needed for my Dansco. Then, because I have bought from him before and he has bought from me AND good deals both ways, I looked through his display cases and found that beauty. By having that 25 dollar modern coin, he made a good deal more selling me both. And how many dealers do you think I drop hundreds or thousands of dollars with that don't have moderns for me? NONE.
TenHalves...right? The new profile is HORRIBLE. If they were going to change it, they should have stuck with the 2005 obv. That one was cool.

Smoke, this is a really nice set. Very impressive. I had my Jeffersons in old Whitman albums. I just bought the 7113 (no proofs) from Amazon last week. I started transferring my coins to this album. Not done yet. I spent a fair chunk of change filling the first page also with very nice unc specimens. It was fun though. One dealer had boxes of unc Jefferson nickels that he was selling for $1 each a couple years ago. I bought several nice War Nickels and 4 1950 D nickels (what a find)! My book with no proofs is missing one coin, the 2009 P. Still hoping to find one in change ...

And I want to go on record to say that I DO like the new obverse on the 2006 to date nickels. The 2005 obverse is interesting and the older obverse is boring (IMO). I am glad they changed it. I just wish they went with the 3/4 view of Monticello in 2006. That reverse is much nicer, I think.
