[QUOTE="borgovan, post: 798340, member: 13016"]I'm an accumulator. I purchase high-grade, high-eye-appeal, examples of Jefferson nickels. Some coins are nicely toned. Others have a high-degree of surface preservation. A rare few have both. I collect both raw and slabbed Jeffersons, but I have not yet tried to assemble an uncirculated set of them. For instance, someone here on the forums was interested in slabbed, uncirculated 1939-D nickels (the key date for the series). Between MS-64 and MS-67, I have 13 examples. I also have several more raw examples in the same grade range. Someone else asked me about purchasing a 1940-S coin, and when I checked, I did not have a single one. So, to answer your question, I have an accumulation, not a date-mintmark collection [I]per se.[/I] I will probably do the set someday, but right now my goal is just picking up whatever nice pieces I find that I can afford.[/QUOTE]
