53 PF68 is on the way; only need pre 53's to finish my proofs. I have completed a full set (short the proofs) in excellent coins. Will post pics of the set when I get this photography thing down. Just got my 52. Only pre 52's left!    Edited by jprine

Nice Set! I'm completing the business strike from circulation but might just add the proofs now that I've seen yours.

question about the proofs
I have found a few in circulation and was wondering their composition
is it the same as the regular P and D general circulation nickels or are they a silver coin
or could it be either like I know the dimes and quarters and halves can be?
if they can be either is the weight different so I could weigh them and see what I have?
I think those are all my questions BTW the westward journey proofs look cool someone spent them at my work one day, I gladly accepted hahaha gotta love stoners buying blunts wraps with silver and proof coins, happens a ton at my work

Congratulations, those are some beautiful proofs you have amass. I am a Jefferson proof collector as well. The holes in my collection are of the early 50's the prices seem to get a little steep. Holding out on a steal on ebay!  |

Congrats on the quest. I went through this last year with my proofs and did write similar posts in the forum last year about my newest acquisitions. I ended up finding some doubled die proofs and cherry picked both my 1942 proofs as business strikes.
I am glad there are other Jefferson enthusiasts here in CCF land.

Wow! Great Coins! I LOVE Jefferson proofs. The hidden gems.
Are you ripping them out of the slabs to put in the album?
Gosh and this is just my 2 cents. For the 1950 and 1951 - if you buy a pr68 or even a pr67 slab - I would strongly recommend keeping them in the slabs.
I know, I know. There are all sorts of slings and arrows in my back now.
My day job is Customer Service so I think Teflon has already been installed on my beeee-hind!!
My point is that for the 50 and 51, the slab AND the grade becomes really important for the value.
Just my Proof 5 cents!

Wheezie,
I'm in the top 20 of NGC Registry Jeffie Proofs (1950-1964) and I haven't even worked up a sweat yet.....
So there are other Jefferson FANATICS!
You definitely have competition for those juicy Jefferson "For Sale" items that get posted here. I will just say that I've had to replace my keyboard twice.
JPRINE - not hijacking your thread!
Those are beautiful coins and maybe someone else will chime in - but I'd keep the early ones slabbed.....

Well, you know how I feel about slabs.  But it is his coin, his decision. Although I hope to see it join his friends in the album.  |
