I've been monitoring this thread and am very happy (for you) that your getting this set.
I love the look of MS War Nickels and consider them very unique, amazing how nice the MS silver nick's
are compared to circulated coins, not to mention how nice the 40 percenters are compared even to the nickel coins.
I found it very interesting how Full steps,64 vs 65 vs 66, and cac came into the conversation and became an issue.
I think all that is a bunch of crap, for the most part, almost entirely.
Buy what you like, enjoy what you have and don't worry about what some grader thinks about it.
I bought some nice War Nickels once and one was MS with full steps, the only reason I was happy was because I could sell it to someone who needs a microscope to find out the coin is worth stupid money. One of the few coins I have sold.
Just my 2 cents

Thanks, upstate, for posting. It is interesting how so many issues came into this discussion. I'm glad they did. I need to figure these things out for myself. The grading and concerns about what others might want in the future confuses the issue of what I, the collector, like and want to own. But I have to confess that those things have been on my mind. I tend to worry too much about these issues.

I pulled the trigger. I now own a short set of War Nickels, PCGS, MS65. I went to the coin shop this morning, told my guy I needed more time to think this over, asked to look at the Jeffersons again, and I just couldn't walk away fom them. All other considerations aside, I'm attached to this set and I'm as happy as can be. I will post pics in a day or two. Thank you everyone for helping me. I learned a lot from this post. I am so pleased that I asked for your help.

Now that I have the short set, I'm thinking of picking up the 1943/2-P over date. Any thoughts on what I should pay for a PCGS MS65 one. I might just go on and collect the whole series! I like the coin a lot.
