OK... So after reading about Bruce's recent find of the no FS on the 1990 D I had to to go and research my rolls of 1990 D's just to double check them all well in my examination, I found this one that is "neckless" Jefferson neck is gone! I assume from over zealous die polish, much like the famous 3 legged buff nickel! Check out Jefferson's neck, almost all details are missing under his chin... This is a fairly common occurance in nickels from the 70's and I have collected 30 -40 of them from the 70's and a few scattered ones from the 60's and earlier, however this is the first one I've found from a modern nickel! Made my day!!
dak. I have never seen that before, looks like something else l will look for. PS. give me a name you know mine and Jody's
yea, I guess I've been around here long enough, I should be polite and introduce myself. My name is Aaron, its good to meet you guys, I have enjoyed going through all the old posts, 8 pages of variety nickels... Some great threads hidden back in a few of those pages!
Hi, This is to all of you Jefferson hounds. I've really enjoyed learning a few things from you guys in just the past few days. I really enjoy ALL U.S. coins but have felt the Jefferson series was way under rated for a long time. Yeah, I knew about the full steps (like everone else) but no FS and no neck? New to me. I do have a roll of Black Beauties buried somewhere in my "I got it cheap" part of my collection. My local dealer was going to give them away as change so I plunked down $2 for the roll. Found a few with awesome cobalt blue spotting. If I ever locate the darn things I'll post pics. In the meantime I'll keep a better eye on my Jeffersons as well as what you guys are posting. I appreciate what you're doing.
So while cruising around I found another one on the internet... A 1983 this time.. I have a feeling that since this is a low area it is much like the buffalo nickel and the 2 feather varieties... A error that re-occurs in most years if you search long enough.. Pretty cool I think.
Since i found you guys i am looking at my nickels in a whole new light!! I can not belive how much i have learnt in the past few days, thank you to all of you!!
I have seen the 1990-D "no fs" on this site http://www.collectorscorner.org/pocket.html#Nickles no price on it though. Very cool neckless jefferson!!!!!!!! Tommy likey.
So apparently some of the Historians were not wrong when they stated that Jefferson did not have the neck for some of the tough decisions as a President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:goofer: Frank
Here is the link to neckless auction, just a few minutes on it... WOW ... $14.00 bucks for this little guy! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...MEBI:IT&viewitem=&item=230136290825&rd=1&rd=1
