<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 1404956, member: 68"]The best bet for cheap with Jeffersons is to look for nice gemmy coins from new dies but have a little reverse marking. Of course what's cheap varies by date. Early dates can be found gemmy easily but you'll usually pay for it so look for off strikes. Since strikes tend to be better these will still be nice attractive coins. Middle dates ('68-'80) can be extremely cheap and being picky with die condition and strike can pay off. You can find the '86 to date coins in nice PL without breaking the bank if you can stand some scratches. </p><p><br /></p><p>The whole series tends to be available quite cheap right below the highest graded coins and the Full Steps. If you take your time price will be so low as to be nearly immaterial. Seriously, if you buy it from dealer stock while selecting the nice coins a few hundred dollars should do it. If you just want Unc you can send off for a complete set for about the same price but it will be all junk. </p><p><br /></p><p>The '39-D and '42-D will be a little problematical but all these can be found cheap from time to time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
