Message:: [QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 851556, member: 15309"]Steve, You paid $60 for that Jefferson.  While compared to the price guides it appears that you got a great deal, you purchased the coin sight unseen with only a blurry photo of the obverse to judge the quality of the coin.  If you get the coin and it is a low end MS66, I wouldn't think your deal is that great. It might be to your advantage to start searching Heritage for Jefferson Nickels.  The average auction price realized for the MS66 1942-D on Heritage over the last few years has been $40-$45 which would correlate to low $50's with shipping. <a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?D=1942-D&Ne=40&Ntt=1942-D&Ntk=SI_Titles&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchall&y=0&N=51+790+231+310+74+4294967176&Nty=1&x=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?D=1942-D&Ne=40&Ntt=1942-D&Ntk=SI_Titles&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchall&y=0&N=51+790+231+310+74+4294967176&Nty=1&x=0" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?D=1942-D&Ne=40&Ntt=1942-D&Ntk=SI_Titles&Ntx=mode+matchall&y=0&N=51+790+231+310+74+4294967176&Nty=1&x=0</a> In addition, the 1942-D is one of the better struck Jefferson Nickels.  Did you know that you can get a 1942-D MS66 FS for about $80?[/QUOTE]
