<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ConfederateHalf, post: 7734173, member: 27946&quot;]Helen, Jefferson nickels are an excellent choice for a beginning collector on a limited and modest budget.&nbsp; You can, quite literally, complete a circulating set of this series by simply combing through rolls and rolls of nickels from the bank.&nbsp; It would take a long time, but it has been done. The only real “stopper” coin for this project might be the 1950-D and the 1939-D, both rarely found in circulation anymore, but some people do find even those with extreme persistence....or you can just go purchase these at little cost.&nbsp; The main thing is you should read up on Jefferson nickels.&nbsp; Get a Red Book.&nbsp; Learn how to grade them.&nbsp; Then get yourself a Whitman album and start filling the holes.&nbsp; Always seek the highest grade examples you can locate.&nbsp; If you have the collecting bug in you you’ll be hooked and you will eventually want to move on to more challenging series and types.&nbsp; But this is a great way to learn the hobby.&nbsp; Keep in mind that there are tons of educational resources online for coin collectors.&nbsp; Any decent web search engine will help you locate them.&nbsp; Have fun![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
