<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 8224986, member: 13307&quot;]Good evening!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been saving some nicer Jefferson Nickels for a future TPG bulk submission.&nbsp; Every once in a while, I go through the tube and pare it down (eliminating coins I don&#039;t think are worthy of spending money to have graded.)&nbsp; The way I see it, if my experience and knowledge increases over time (hopefully) then eventually I&#039;ll have a pretty nice group of coins that actually deserve to be slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are five coins from that tube - some I feel could still warrant a slab (at bulk prices, that is) and a couple I think probably wouldn&#039;t do well if submitted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">1938 D</p><p><br /></p><p>This one has lovely color, but unfortunately someone with poor coin handling etiquette left their fingerprints on it.&nbsp; I&#039;m on the fence about this one.&nbsp; At the very least, I&#039;ll save it for myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1445206[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">1940 D</p><p><br /></p><p>This one has some unusually strong color on the obverse, as well as full steps (which is common on 1940 D&#039;s) but the spots on the reverse make me believe it would be Detailed if submitted, either for AT or ED.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1445207[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">1949 S</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my luck, find a prooflike 1949 S and it has major issues in the fields (reminds me of the PL 1976 D Kennedy I found last year.)&nbsp; At the very least, I&#039;m keeping it for myself...might just submit it and see how they treat the breaks in the luster on the surfaces.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1445208[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">1950 D</p><p><br /></p><p>I already have a couple keeper 1950 D&#039;s, but this one has gorgeous color, booming luster, and full steps.&nbsp; I&#039;d definitely submit it and hope for a star.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1445209[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">1956 P</p><p><br /></p><p>The luster and color are really, really superb in hand - so I think I may submit it to go for the 64/65 star.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had pretty bad luck getting stars, though, so it might be a waste of money.&nbsp; Of course, at bulk rates, it&#039;s not that much of a gamble, which is why I save these up until I have enough of them. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1445210[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT:&nbsp; I just wanted to also add a coin from this tube that I decided against keeping, and when you see the images, you&#039;ll understand why.&nbsp; The obverse...just gorgeous.&nbsp; Easily a 66, possibly a 67.&nbsp; Lovely color, especially for a non-silver example.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse...ugh.&nbsp; Maybe an AU55?</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">1947 P</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1445214[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
