Message:: [QUOTE="GSDykes, post: 2233243, member: 73321"]I only collect FS Jefferson nickels, as far as US coins go. I do not have very many left to go, but the remaining ones are quite expensive. The 78D in the image in the OP is being returned, I just compared it with the original sales ad, and the seller (pete4333) switched coins, or got em mixed up. There was no gash in the steps in the sales ad, nor many other scratches. I should have compared right away. Yeah it does take patience. Most of the shows I have been to, including big ones, have very few Jefferson nickels (as you must know), let alone FS nickels. I do not have deep pockets, and I will settle for inexpensive substitutes. Even now I have SMS nickels for the 1965-67 coins as I cannot afford the FS circulation business strikes. Maybe someday I may find some inexpensive ones. But it is no big deal. I actually spend most of my time collecting world coins. May you live long!! Paddy! PS: Stress is one thing I try to avoid, being a combat veteran, after several tours in the jungles of beautiful South Vietnam, and after setting at least 70 ambushes, (that was my unique job, as well as pulling point), I have lived - somehow - under tons of stress. Today, I avoid stress. I suspect somehow, you can relate to this Paddy??Gary in Washington[/QUOTE]
