<p>[QUOTE="VDBPennyGuy, post: 1358511, member: 35595"]From your photos it looks like you have some ok nickels there, although Jefferson nickels don't really have any varieties to speak of. The one thing you definitely want to look for on Jefferson nickels is what is called "Full Steps" where the steps leading up to the front door on Monticello are completely intact. Full steps add value and not much else besides toning, and of course minimal wear and blemishes. Nickels are a very fun coin to collect and you definitely have some good starter coins. :smile On a side note, kudos on making your own coin sleeves, but be sure to only use mylar or some other non-acidic plastics to cover your coins, the treatment chemicals in cling wrap, and many other household plastics can damage your coins. Here is the website I started gathering info on Jefferson Nickels when I was starting out. <a href="http://www.coin-collecting-guide-for-beginners.com/rare-nickels.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coin-collecting-guide-for-beginners.com/rare-nickels.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coin-collecting-guide-for-beginners.com/rare-nickels.html</a> And Welcome to Coin Talk.:welcome:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
