According to Dansco I have now completed the Jefferson nickel series. This has taken me close to two years. I'm not really finished though, I still want to collect the following: 1938 proof 1939 reverse of 1938 1939 proof, reverse of 1938 1939 proof, reverse of 1940 1939-D, reverse of 1938 1939-S, reverse of 1940 1940 proof 1942 proof, type 1 1942-P proof, type 2 1951 proof 1997-P matte proof I figure it will take about another $1,000 to get these 11 coins. There is no rest for this weary nickel collector. I have also constructed a Jefferson nickel type set according to my own interests, it includes 18 coins. Thank you Dansco for all of those blank holes. |

 But I agree that what the albums call a complete set isn't always the whole story. I like having an album with extra holes too!  |

Way to go! I know how you feel because I put the last piece of the puzzle in my own BU Jefferson nickel collection just a few weeks ago. If you're like me, there's a feeling of accomplishment but also a little melancholy that this particular race is done.  If you got some of your coins from the Bay, I wonder on how many pieces we were bidding against each other!? I love to hear good news from a fellow JN collector & I may use your list to add a little spice to my cabinet. |

Congrats!! My hat is off to you as I am one that considers my set "complete" when all the holes are filled in my Dansco. I admire those that go above and beyond and after a real complete set.  |

The Jefferson nickels are just the latest completed set that I have. My other completed sets include the following: Roosevelt dimesDC & Territory Quarters ATB Quarters Eisenhower dollars SBA Dollars Sacagawea/NA Dollars Presidential dollarsAmerican Eagle Silver Dollars By completed I mean that the Dansco album for these series have all of the holes filled. In some cases I have some of all of the early proofs and other varieties not included in the album pages i.e. Enhanced dollars and Reverse Proof dollars, etc. I have a few Dansco albums that are nearing completion (less than 10 coins to go). These include the Lincoln Memorial album (1 coin) and the Kennedy half dollar (7 coins). I have the complete series of Washington quarters from 1965 to 1998 and some other series that I am working on. I'm really into this. |
