FELIX SCHLAG'S JEFFERSONS! By: jb4gpo It was "The Official Red Book", where I stumbled across a (Bio) of one of Americas Greatest Designers,(Felix Oscar Schlag). What brought my attention in collecting Jefferson nickels was Felix's Life History with his relentess Determination of creating the winning design.This Jefferson Series is so diverse, with so many ways to collect/ I wanted to get a "Little of Everything". Quality Mintstate/Variety/Proofs/ProofLikes/FullSteps/Silver Wartime Era/ Rpm's Errors/ also dissecting of this Series to find/obtain the most difficult dates to at least(half-steps showing)that are next to impossible to find/purchase in a five full-step. Whew! Now, that I have all of these in a safe deposit/Bank, I wanted to share all this with fellow Jefferson Collectors... Upon my Retirement in 2008, Contemplating/ Wondering, if it was to-late for me trying to grab a spot in the "Top 10".This Jefferson Set is something Special to me, It's a little different than what most collectors have in the Registry. On some of the dates, my coins won't have the(Registry Points) or hardly any (Numis-Value) at all. If you take a look at my collection, you will understand why I chose this path and my reasoning behind it. (Ngc Registry/nickels/1938 to date catagory/jb4gpo/JGB's Jefferson collection.) I feel very fortunate getting this far which currently is in the #8 Ranking. Don't let the no-prices over half of my coins fool you, most of my collection' are low-mintage and very hard to find! Just being able to reach this goal even briefly, I felt that I achieved something that's been most Enjoyable and Rewarding in Assembling a High-Quality set of Various Different Types of Jeffersons. So Yes! Anybody,who wants a Real-Challenge? This is it! -----------------------------------------------------------------------
