Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 12/29/2015 09:23 am I even like the contrast with the Dansco album pages. I like lowball sets too. A well circulated set tells a bit of a story. Creative passion takes on many looks. Look at what folks are willing to pay on American Pickers. There is plenty of interest in old worn objects. Coins included. Lots of creative minds out there. I'm just waiting to see who is going to be next. Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 12/29/2015 7:42 pm Awesome project! I was actually just packing up my nickel hoard for a move, and I spotted at least one blackened War Nickel... 1943 I think (wife was applying pressure to ensure the packing process didn't take 3 weeks). I'll get a picture on this thread in a couple weeks when the move is done. Also interstingly every single 1950-P nickel I had was blackened. What are the odds? Will be looking forward to the updates!

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15543 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 8:15 pm Update ... My blackened Jefferson sort/select is now complete through 2015. The collection has lots of holes ... but pleased to report that I do have 100 of the 163 coins needed for the set ... mindful that I've not including the 11 war silver nickels as eligible blackened candidates. Sorting through these coins has brought me great collecting pleasure ... and I'm truly hopeful that your collecting endeavors bring you similar joy of the hobby. Photos of the newest additions that make me happy .. 2001-P Jefferson ... Blackened with Cameo Lovely circulation cameo example. 2003-P Jefferson ... Blackened with cameo. 2006-P Jefferson ... Blackened with cameo First year of issue of the 'forward two-eye' facing Jefferson portrait on the obverse ... Updated Dansco images ... Dansco P4 ... Updated with the year 2000 coins ... Dansco P5 ... my hand written additions to this used album. That's it friends ... the end of my sort from 384,200 nickels searched. I do have 12 outstanding blackened Jefferson duplicates ... setting them aside in case I can share them with any of you seeking to do the same. Should this reply be the final word on the set ... I sincerely close the topic with this ... Collect whatever makes you happy. Best - David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 8:20 pm Congratulations on filling 100 holes with only a dozen duplicates! Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15543 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 8:37 pm To clarify ... I threw over 300 duplicates into the return to bank bag ... The dozen remaining duplicates referenced above are the result of my inability to send to the bank at face value truly outstanding blackened Jefferson with cameo surfaces ... I'm hopeful that some CCF member can benefit from my humble efforts ... and as such the 12 duplicates remain in my possession for possible trades and/or giveaways.

jbuck Moderator United States 189767 Posts	Posted 12/31/2015 09:39 am Quote: Dansco P5 ... my hand written additions to this used album. Keep in mind that after the new permanent obverse came in 2006, Dansco changed the 7113 to end at 2005 and moved 2006- nickels in the all new 7114 album. They did the same for the proof album, separating into 8113 and 8114.

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 12/31/2015 2:41 pm I'm doing the same thing with my 7113, since it has empty slots through 2016-P. I'll get a new blank page soon. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 01/01/2016 12:51 am I say bump the topic every few months with your progress. I suspect others will enjoy having a look at your black beauties/cameos going forward. We did after all. Report this Post to the Staff

mcanniz Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 01:47 am I've come across some black War Nickels. not sure what caused them to tone that way, but I have seen them Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15543 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 11:50 am Update #1 to my Blackened Jefferson search ... Quote: I've come across some black War Nickels. I am now in agreement ... and have expanded the set to include all 174 circulation strike Jefferson minted 1938 - 2015. During my CRH I have found 120 War Silver Jefferson ... sold most of them on ebay when silver was in the $30 range ... but went through the remainder of them and came across 3 that I consider 'eligible' for my Blackened set. A few photos .... <b>1942-P Jefferson (War Silver) - Blackened</b> <b>1943-P Jefferson (War Silver) - Blackened</b> The set also includes a 1945-P that looks very similar to the two examples shown above. Now ... the War Silver are eligible and I hope to discover additional examples for the collection. As I stated in my introduction to this endeavor ... the 'ideal' coins exhibit large amount of circulation cameo appearance ... dark toned fields with the legends and portraits appearing lighter in color due to circulation wear. Here is an example of a recent find that makes me happy: <b>1952 Jefferson - Blackened with Circulation Cameo</b> The cameo appearance is stronger on the reverse ... in hand a lovely addition to the set. Last week I came across my 2nd low-mintage (below 10 million) 'key date' for the set. 1955 Jefferson - Blackened Lovely key date Jefferson indeed. Set Status My Dansco 7113 now contains 116 Blackened Jefferson. So I'm now exactly 2/3 of the way there. Hopeful that you enjoy this update.

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 6:11 pm Nice David. Looks like you'll be able to complete the set at some point with the War Nickels turning up 'blackened'. Report this Post to the Staff
