<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3295691, member: 19250&quot;]I have 2 complete sets of unc. Jefferson nickels,as well proofs.</p><p>At one time I had just about every Jefferson nickel variety known.</p><p>I actullly paid off&nbsp; the balance&nbsp; of a car loan back in 1982 after I got married and my parent made me remove bags of nickels I had at their home from roll searching.</p><p>I had 2-&nbsp; 1971 s no s nickels, a Felix Schlag souvenir card .</p><p>The problem is there&#039;s no solid market for the series, I&#039;ve seen full sets of unc. Nickel in a Dansco go for less than $300!</p><p>The series foes have quite a few varieties....the problem is unless they are Au. or better theres no market for them. </p><p>Please understand I&#039;m not trying to poo poo the series...I still have my sets and all the major varieties but....again there isn&#039;t a strong demand.</p><p>I sold a 1939 double Monticello in ms 64&nbsp; years ago...for $1400.00 .</p><p>The same coin today is well under $900 in 64. 65 are $1200.</p><p>I purchased another here from a member in Au. Under $100!</p><p>Jefferson nickels are a fun series to collect but unless they are MS coins there is little to no interest,and no premium even on varieties.</p><p>My advice to the op is roll them up and sell them as unsearched.</p><p>I do understand the fun of roll searching for dates or varieties..... after all I had enough nickels to pay off&nbsp; 2 years what was left on my car loan.</p><p>Which my parents were more than happy see bags of nickels leave their home.</p><p>I think it is a great series to start a YN with....easy to complete...which keeps a YN&#039;s interest... but again if you think that finding varieties in circulated coins is going to pay off it isn&#039;t! </p><p>Only for the enjoyment of the find will this series pay off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
