[QUOTE="Specksynder, post: 1132850, member: 22410"]I think everyone needs a COMPLETE nickel collection: Jeffs can be found in circulation, and if you get impatient you can get the war nickels, 1939 coins, and 1950-D at reasonable costs. If you include proofs in your collection, there are a few major key dates. The 1994 Matte Proof, 1997 Matte Proof, and some early year SMS coins. In short, the Jefferson nickel is a common coin, but you can assemble a truly uncommon set of Jeffs. Then go to V nickels. A short run, only 3 key dates, reasonably priced because there's no silver content. Then move forward in time to assemble your BUFFALO herd. An iconic coin with a handful of keys. You can make this set as easy or challenging as you want... you can stick to low grade and you'll find only a few coins that cost more than $20 or you can go for completeness and get all sorts of overdates and the 3-legger. Finally, as an experienced nickel collector, you can tackle the shield nickels. Minted in the first year that "IN GOD WE TRUST" was emblazoned across our coins. (But I obviously don't have any strong feelings on the matter.)[/QUOTE]
