<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 1699885, member: 19250&quot;]As a nickel collector I can tell you now the coins found do have a value ...they are hole fillers in a circulated set.&nbsp; And there is nothing wrong with that...but in the Jefferson series one must remember the following low mintage, quality coins ,Full steps, Most Jeff&#039;s were minted for one thing as a work horse for the monetary system,being the next to the lowers coinage. They were spit out as fast as they could mint them. First strikes were of course better coins,as the dies were struck until they exploded! Denver and San Fran were better strikes as they for the most part had lower mintage&#039;s. </p><p>Now one must understand that yes it&#039;s easy to fill a Jefferson album.....but if you go for high quality coins with FS and from there go into the varieties now you&#039;re talking money. The Jefferson Nickel collection was the first coin album I filled as a kid. It was not until years ago could I afford the high dollar nickels and varieties. I still pocket old coins no matter the date IE the 1944 P Lincoln penny...just because it&#039;s a WWll era coin. but that date is so common. If you&#039;re going to search rolls for date make sure you buy a book on varieties. I recomend two for nickels CPG Cherry pickers guide &amp; the best of Jefferson nickel Varieties . One other good source is the The Jefferson Nickel Analyst&nbsp; By Nagengast. This text breaks down by year the numbers of finding a FS nickel explains the term full step and grading system. </p><p>Nickels are fun to collect however gem FS nickels are what every Jefferson collector wants in their collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
