I don't really collect the modern Jeffs (1965-present), so it really wouldn't bother me all that much.
Trust me, you will learn a lot about Jefferson Nickels if you view my registry set and read the descriptions. In essence, my registry set is an...
With all due respect Kurt, I think we have established that you consider ugly toned coins that are not penalized in grade the same thing as a...
