<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 8290427, member: 19250&quot;]As a Jefferson nickel collector, who at one time had an example of every date ,mm,and&nbsp; all major varities ....including&nbsp; one of Felix Schlag 125 proofs that were signed and framed....the Jefferson nickel isn&#039;t really that much collected or appreciated. </p><p>First of all mintages were for the most part were high. Even the keys aren&#039;t hard to find or obtain .</p><p>Circulating Jeffersons may be fun to roll search...but a 1940 wore Jefferson may be a hole filler...but really only worth face value.</p><p>I personally do feel that nickels are under rated.... but to be honest I know dealers who have no interest in aquiring any for their inventories,&nbsp; as I has sold off many high dollar nickels way below par.</p><p>Currently I have a 1946 s ddo its a $600+/- coin graded in 65 and no one will offer me $50 for it.</p><p>I do understand that finding a 1930,40,50 coin in a roll is fun....but for the most part worth a nickel! </p><p>Franklin half dollars another series that unless they are top pop no one really cares about. </p><p>Ive seen dealers pass on a mint state set in a capital holder...why they would only offer melt...for buying the set...and didn&#039;t want to upset a customer by making a melt offer.</p><p>I still have a full set of ms Jeffersons but have sold off just about all varities, and proofs.</p><p>It was fun building the sets....but I actually had more investment in those nickels then I ever would recoup..... fun to collect....but one better not want to try and flip them...as no one other than yourself place much value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
