Wow! That's really cool Matt.

 

I thought so.

Here is a website that is trying to chronicle all of the 150 pieces.

I know one other person that has 95% same item. As soon as his computer is up and running again.
I am sure he will be here.<^>

very neat piece

 

I can't look at the pics cuz my Internet is being dumb so i will just ask. Has the nickel toned or anything at all from being framed all those years?

 

Interesting Set!

 

Wow Matt, now I think you really suck...











































... but only because you own it and I don't.

 

With that Notary Public that Jefferson could qualify for FIRST STRIKE .
If it does get the FIRST STRIKE send it to CAC.
If it stickers it would be the first and only FS/CAC coin.

Nice piece of history.

Great piece of hist0ry. I'm building a Jefferson collection, I'm looking forward to more information on the web site. Thanks for sharing this...

 

They are interesting, I've seen them before. I think Schlag did about 100 of them.

 

Neat piece. I like the addition of the check and what appears to be an ad from a magazine on the back?
Do you know if the check was written to the dealer from Chicago that had the hoard of these that the website refers to? The date on the check and the selling price fits with the story.

 

Those are very neat... been wanting one of those for quite awhile. A dealer I deal with has a couple of them available but I just can't pull the trigger!

 

LOL! Not likely since once its off the board, its provenance is gone and it becomes just another Jefferson Proof.

Besides, a piece like this just does not need TPG certification.

 

2nd that Lee. No drinking of the Kool Aid needed on this one........

 

wow whats the value on one of thoes. ive never even hearld about them

 

The last example that sold at heritage brought $1,750.

very interesting. think you are making a good choice to keep that baby.

 

That is WAAAY cool! When I had my Jeff Registry set, it was as FS as possible, and was FS from '65 up (till the 'Westward Ho' designs, that's when I called it quits), I didn't think it was complete until I had one of the 1,938 silver FSNC Proof and Matte sets. SEGS encapsulated them, and I ordered 2 sets from 'The Portico' (is that still in print?), for a fraction of what they bring now. Boy, I was wrong....it wouldn't have been complete without this piece. This piece is just UBER coooooool, LostDutchman! I do think a 'you suck' is in order. To have that just walk into your shop, with ALL that documentation, I'd have preferred that single item than the whole set, even though, when my dad and I got into the Jeffs (I was young, and that was my first real series I got into), they WERE 'cheap', especially by today's standards/prices/pops (which were low, the best '73-S I could find was 63FS, and there were about a dozen higher...there's STILL only 45 graded higher now, still with just 3 in 63FS, same pop as when I picked it up). When I sold the set off (man, it was 9 years ago when I broke it up, boy, time flies), they WEREN'T cheap...I made a niiiice profit from them (wish I had the set now, boy, as the '76 and '76-D I had in 66FS, neither of which had any graded higher, even today it's the top pop, would be so sought after...). CONGRATS!

That IS a verrry nice piece, and I agree with your thought on putting it on the wall. Get it framed nicely in a 'box' frame (won't be cheap, but that piece is well worth the $400-or more- to frame properly), that will look , as we say in Boston, 'wicked pissa!'
