<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 7948411, member: 37839"]Now that I have not been much of a Morgandude recently, I had branched off into other series. As many know, I have been collecting high grade toned and blast white Jefferson Nickels, both MS and Proof (particularly, the earlier ones, from 1938-1965). As most will know, the problem date is the 1939 Proof Jefferson. Mintage was extremely low; just over 12,000. Finding a really attractive example in high grade that is really attractive is not easy. I will end up spending $2,000 for a modern quasi rarity. Given that I sold my 1893s AU 50 Morgan months ago, it will be less painful, as I still have money left over.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, what is your experience in getting a really attractive example of a key date, or difficult date coin for your area of collection? Do you compromise, and buy a filler coin. Or, do you hold out for that one stunning coin, and open up the wallet? Please share your experiences in the “key date” syndrome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
