Message:: [QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1607396, member: 41863"]I had just about finished my circulated set of Jeffersons, I was down to maybe 7-10 coins (to fill a Whitman, mind you) when I decided that I wanted a nicer set. So as I was buying my Dansco (so i could work on the proofs and the run through 2005, versus ending up in the late 70s on the whitman) I decided to pick up a 50D and from there i transferred all my whitman coins over, and have been upgrading and filling holes since. I am almost done now, and at least half of the set is in AU/BU condition, minus the early years. In fact I should have an ebay batch of coins arrive today to keep my afternoon busy filling in holes. Ive been very fortunate with this series, I had some great help from my grandfather (BU set of war nickels i transferred from a capital holder), and Gbroke here on CT was an absolute pleasure to work with when I first made my transition from Whitman to Dansco, he helped upgrade some spots and sent me some really nice coins for my holes. Ive always been a 'silver' collector, meaning almost all of my coins I actively seek have some sort of silver in them, but the Jefferson Series has been one of my favorite non-silver sets to collect, plus the bonus of the War years being silver. Truly has been a great experience. Id imagine once i finish my nickels i will move on to JFK halves through circulation then upgrading as I go along[/QUOTE]
