I haven't added to my registry set in years, but I finally filled one of the last 4 spots for $14. [IMG]
Which side is supposedly PL? I don't see that at all from the photos provided.
The surfaces say MS63 to me and the dipped appearance makes the hits even more prominent.
Lastly, I would like to share my 1950-D fantasy. Why oh why couldn't this coin be just a little cleaner. I cracked this baby out and now it...
I would also like to share, perhaps the rarest of the 1950-D Jefferson Nickels.... 1950-D: A circulated example [img]
Ok, so we have arrived at the so called "key date" of the Jefferson Nickel series. As Ron pointed out, these coins were widely hoarded and...
I've been posting my coins in groups to encompass 1 year for each post. I am posting this coin not because it is special, but rather because the...
