Jefferson Dansco Came Into Local Shop-Progress Pics

Progress
5 to 6 weeks and have found 81 coins. So up to 154 filled, 53 more to go. I think I have most of the easy ones, it is getting harder finding the early ones. I am hoping to get them all in AU/BU.

I guess I will have to start checking the online sites.

I started a Jefferson Dansco a couple of weeks ago. I usually pick up $10-$20 in nickels every time I cash a paycheck. Between those and my mint/proof sets that I had broken I figured it was time to start working on one. Mine is nowhere near that pretty, though. I would have rather paid someone $40 for the book + several of the coins.

Thanks guys

This set is much harder to do, than I thought it would be. I pretty much have all the ones I can get from breaking mint and proof sets, so now I will have to find the individual coins.

I have been to most of my local coin shops and bought the ones they had .. that I liked.

The page with the westward journey nickels I think are my favorites. I also like the two silver War Nickels that I have so far, to me they are nice coins in uncirculated condition. oh .. the 40 S is a nice one too. I hope to find more like that one.

DONE!! for now.

I started this set on March 22nd, and got done today Nov 1st.
Of course I bought the Dansco with 73 coins in it, and sometime
in the future I think I will upgrade a couple.

But for now I am very happy with it. I think they are all BU or proof. Some of the coins came right out of the mint package were not really the highest grade. I think I will be putting it away for a while and come back to upgrade them.

Some are bright Gem BU and some have a nice tone. My poor ability to take good pictures makes it hard to really show how nice some of these coins are.

Congrats!

Are your 2009 P & D business strikes or Satin finish?

Thanks for the replies. It really was a bigger effort than I thought it would be.

Tornandfrayed75 yes they are satin. I am one of those collectors that use mint and proof sets
to fill my sets each year. In the past, for the sets I was not working on, I just put them in
2X2's until I did start them. So all the P and D's from 2005 on are satin finish.

Goodness, those are pretty! Well done! What's next?

Thanks again




Not sure what I will really focus on next. I thought I was done with my Peace dollar set .. but the 1921 I got in the mail .. has a scratch on it and I am sending it back.

I have Roosevelt dime album started. And also Washington quarter, 1932-1998. And then today I bought a Franklin Dansco album.

I guess I am not focused again, but am sure one of them will become the set to finish next .. just don't know yet.
