Very neat one! Proof Buffalo nickel is another one of those "perpetually on my wish list" coins.

 

Ok, Ok, I'll play by the "nickel" rules... one of two graded by NGC with Rays, NGC MS-65 PL

 

Here's a fun one that I don't often see posted. Got this for a decent price since 5 of them went up for auction on one Sunday at Great Collections.

 

Nickels drive me MAD!!!

 

I've never seen a TPG designated MAD. I didn't know they did that.

 

I guess that means it is time for one of my favorite coins.... 1871 Shield, no rays, NGC MS-65 * PL

 

Here is the way Felix Schlag designed the Jefferson Nickel. They made so many changes to the final design that one could say the mint took Schlag's design "under advisement" or as "a hint as to what was to come." This is a modern copy that was produced by a private mint. It's made of silver.



Here is a 1938 Proof Jefferson Nickel. I've enjoyed owning this because it was the first of its kind.

 

That is a "homemade" btw.




And almost full steps as well.

 

What do you mean home-made? Also how did that get a 67? Some distracting hits on Jefferson.

 

Homemade means I submitted it, and the marks look bigger in photos. The coin is a 66/67, they tend to be generous when grading error coins since they can't compete in the registry.

 

Oh gotcha. Thanks!
