<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 669481, member: 15309&quot;]I recently acquired one of my most sought after Jefferson Nickels, a 1940-S in MS67 5FS.&nbsp; I already had both the 1940 &amp; 1940-D in MS67 6FS.&nbsp; Each of these coins is a top pop and the combined population of all three including both PCGS and NGC examples is (184/0).&nbsp; The PCGS price guide total for these three coins in MS67 is $5,525.&nbsp; I assembled this short set in NGC holders for under $600.&nbsp; The PCGS price guide for these three coins in MS66 is $375</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the populations broken down by date and TPG service.</p><p><br /></p><p>1940-P:-----NGC:--(22)-----PCGS:--(28)-------Total:--(50)------&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; PCGS Price:&nbsp; $850</p><p>1940-D:-----NGC:--(15)-----PCGS:--(108)------Total:--(123)-----PCGS Price:&nbsp; $175</p><p>1940-S:-----NGC:--(3)------PCGS:--(8)--------Total:--(11)-------PCGS Price:&nbsp; $4,500</p><p><br /></p><p>The total number of NGC examples is 40 compared to the 144 of PCGS.&nbsp; While NGC grades Jefferson&#039;s more liberally than PCGS, I would only need one of the three to cross in order to realize a significant financial gain.&nbsp; These coins are now part of my NGC registry set and I have no intention of selling them, but it is still prudent to think about the possibilities.&nbsp; Here are photos of the three coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1940NGCMS67FS.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1940-DNGCMS67FS26-7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1940-SNGCMS675FS.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Each coin has it&#039;s own personality.&nbsp; The first is remarkably struck with a lustrous even champagne iridescence.&nbsp; The 1940-D is bright gold, frosty, and hails from the famous Compradore collection.&nbsp; The 1940-S is a satin beauty with intermingled almond and dove grey patina.</p><p><br /></p><p>Often times when looking for registry coins, I will set smaller goals within the larger set.&nbsp; This was one of my goals, to complete the year 1940 with each example have at least 5 full steps.&nbsp; The 1100 registry points ain&#039;t bad either.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you guys think?&nbsp; Does anyone else set small goals within their registry sets?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
