My new super cool war nickel set! Special thanks to gbroke for the great pics!

So I recently bought a gorgeous war nickel set in an old Capitol holder. Sent them off to Greg for some top-notch photos! I posted a few in the toned coin thread but I wanted to show off the complete goods

Omg! How much did ya pay?

 

They were marked $90...I would have paid that much gladly but I always ask what the lowest they would take is. The guy said $75.

 

Gorgeous freakin' set!

 

I'm drooling over the 42-P and 43-P. Way to go! :thumb:

 

Yep! My two faves too...although the 45-S isn't too shabby either...gotta love the green toning!

 

something about the war nickels gets me everytime

 

That 45-S is spectacular, I love the green toning. Great pickup, that's a beautiful set.

 

Being a Jefferson fan myself, I was very happy to get these in hand and image them. Petro said they were nice, but I didn't expect them to be that nice. Amazing eye appeal, a beautiful set all around except for that 44 P lol.

The 42 P is my favorite for sure. It really is too bad they got lost in the mail on the way back to Petro

 

Lol

 

Nice set, I love those capitol holder nickel sets.

 

Is the Capitol holder set the square plastic one with a black insert that has something along the line of "Wartime Nickels 1942-45" in silver or gold print?

 

Yep, they also come in white.

 

Nice looking set! Great pics too! :thumb:

 

The 1942-P is very tough to find with color, fantastic coin!

 

If I get the gbroke and Lehigh stamps of approval on a Jefferson, I'm a happy camper!

 

Wow. I would love to have a collection like yours. There's just something about Nickels that attract me more than other clad coins.

 

A couple of yours in that group are certainly nicer than the examples I have of the same year.
Jealous.

 

Keep in mind the "war" nickel set is 35% silver.
