fter I purchased the FSNC Concept nickels a few weeks back I have been searching around for concept nickels. Purchased this last week and just arrived today. Don't know anything about this or if it is worth what I paid for it? See one listed on ebay currently for $490.00 and he has a Heritage post for one they sold for $920.00 Do any of you know anything about these?
Here is what I found on Heritage. Originally Posted By: Heritage Auction Galleries 1938 Pattern Jefferson Nickel PR66 Deep Cameo Uncertified. Not listed in Judd or Pollock. Left facing bust of Jefferson gazing upward, with the standard legends and date as on the circulating Jefferson Nickel. The reverse depicts Monticello with a map of Virginia below. The legends are consistent to the legends on the accepted design, but MONTICELLO is shifted left to make way for the map. Silver composition. This is a rejected design by Frans Karel Hejda from the design competition of early 1938. Felix Schlag's view of Monticello was rejected and the view changed to that seen on this piece, an unofficial pattern struck in an unknown small quantity in more recent years from a die made from the original Hejda galvanos. The die has since been destroyed. (#62300)
I bought it off a guy in Great Brittonso If my Pound to dollar conversion is correct I think it was $54 including Shipping.
