Let me know if this is a dumb question because I am a newbie "an jest tryin' ta learn a bit." Report this Post to the Staff

BRUCE 1947 Pillar of the Community United States 834 Posts	Posted 04/22/2007 7:53 pm The highest grade given so far by NGC is a ms-67 these things just do not look good, could be because it's new and having to put the date and mint mark on in the third step of minting them might be the reason.

It's also a bad design IMNSHO lending itself to downgrading. In the one roll of George's I bought, every single coin had scuff marks on it and would not have gone above MS-63. Fortunately, I bought the coins to spend. Expect the same from the John Adams issue, at least the first strikes. Fred Report this Post to the Staff
BRUCE 1947 Pillar of the Community United States 834 Posts	Posted 04/22/2007 9:16 pm I will not be collecting these things, now if they have a proof Jefferson dollar then I might consider buying a few at least that's my take on them. Bruce. Report this Post to the Staff
Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 04/22/2007 10:32 pm Why Jefferson instead of, say Adams or Madison or, one of my favorites, Andy Jackson? Report this Post to the Staff
BRUCE 1947 Pillar of the Community United States 834 Posts	Posted 04/23/2007 07:42 am Fred. I have been collecting Jefferson nickels for thirty years, Thomas Jefferson is one of my favorite presidents and I like anything with him on a coin I am silly that way. Bruce. Report this Post to the Staff
