| Why Nickels?
Alright all you nickel lovers! Why do you collect nickels?
I collect Jefferson nickels primarily. I started back into coin collecting in the late 80's and was dabling in all kinds of US coins with no goal just buying what caught my fancy, funny thing is Jefferson nickels were not one that caught my fancy. Anyway with a children on the way I didn't have much extra money and read an article about the Jefferson series and full steps. Well I've been on the hunt ever since, I just love the series (though I wish it would end, time for all new designs) almost the entire series can still be had in BU condition for a few dollars each. Then I discovered the world of varities.
I love the Buffalo nickels design and have a few MS 66 examples but sad to say the series in GEM BU condition is just beyond me
