[QUOTE="BR549, post: 886362, member: 7110"]To start, I think you did well for a beginner collecting Jefferson nickels, keying in on the key coins and War Era silver issues. 3 graded coins for $36 + $5 s&h is not a bad start. The 1979-S in this small lot would be considered a freebee, most of those removed from the government holders would at least grade PR-68 Dcam. The 50-D is a semi-key coin and looks solid for the assigned grade of MS-65, the 45-S is the star of this lot, that’s a nice looking coin. It might be a good idea to stick with one grading company to make a set is a set, in lots like this, swap out the odd balls for like holders, I think in the end you will be pleased. Note: When you get the urge to splurge, start looking for FS (Full Step) designated nickels. Good Luck and Happy Collecting[/QUOTE]
