<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbroke, post: 1437086, member: 22585&quot;]<b>There are so many ways to collect coins</b>. </p><p>Some people buy only graded coins and play the registry game, while others, like myself, mostly only go after raw and inexpensive coins. </p><p>There is no right or wrong way to collect. It&#039;s all about the enjoyment you get while doing it and what you can afford to collect. </p><p>Who knows, if I could afford it, I very well could be a registry quality collector.</p><p>In the meantime, I just enjoy the hobby and the chase to find fantastic raw coins. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Today I am speaking of Jefferson nickels specifically.</b></p><p>One of the best feelings when collecting raw Jeff&#039;s, is the excitement I get when they nickels arrive, and they are better than I even expected.</p><p>Over the last few years, I have bought full albums, many original bank wrapped rolls, the old capital plastic nickel sets, and misc raw items.</p><p>When I am at shows, or the coin shops, I always like to peruse the raw nickels as well.</p><p>Will I come across a MS 67 registry quality nickel? Highly unlikely, but not impossible. It is of no consequence to me either way though. I don&#039;t send coins in for grading anyway. I am not in it for any investment or reselling reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>What&#039;s my point? I&#039;m getting to it..geez!</b></p><p>I wanted to show you that you can put together an amazing set of nickels, inexpensively. (<i>Don&#039;t shake your head at me Lehigh!</i>)</p><p>Yes, some have dings, and they aren&#039;t&nbsp; struck with the force of thor&#039;s hammer, but they sure do look nice.</p><p>So, here are a handful of examples that have come to me by way of raw purchases. I also hope others will see that Jefferson nickels are a great type to collect. </p><p>I am posting ones that I haven&#039;t already posted throughout the forum.</p><p>I would love to post the hundreds I have imaged, but for now, this will do.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you enjoy today&#039;s show and tell.</p><p>-greg</p><p><br /></p><p><img
