<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 3386337, member: 77413&quot;]<b></b></p><p><b>Bonus Post</b></p><p>Just last week I got an email from David Lawrence Rare Coins containing their <a href="https://blog.davidlawrence.com/coins-we-love-february-21/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://blog.davidlawrence.com/coins-we-love-february-21/" rel="nofollow">Coins We Love - February 21</a> blog posting. They wrote about assisting D. L. Hansen with amassing a full set of all US coins.</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p><font size="4"><span style="color: #0080ff">This week we also had the pleasure of placing two rarities into the collection as well as one of the most elusive modern pieces. The surprisingly rare modern item was a 1993-P Jefferson Nickel. Believe it or not, this was the last nickel needed to complete an entire set of Nickels produced by the United States. Not only was it the last nickel, it was the last non-gold issue needed for the entire set of Copper, Nickel, and Silver coins made from 1792-Present. While this much has probably never been written about a 1993-P Nickel, I thought it was worthwhile…Where did the last coin come from you ask? Well, we’ve searched for one (seriously!) for two years. So, minding the fact that we couldn’t find one that was already certified, we recently bought a group of mint sets from one of our favorite customers, Bill in Paso Robles, California and decided to simply send the coin in for grading. </span></font></p><p><br /></p></blockquote><p>Naturally, I ran off to see what my 1993-P was like. I soon remembered. As you can see in the quote box at the top of this reply, mine also was pretty terrible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;m not trying to compete with the big boys, but I did feel I needed a better 1993-P. I ponied up $2.18 to get this replacement. Maybe I can sell it to Mr. Hansen for a fortune!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]899439[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]899440[/ATTACH]</p><p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: 16px"><font face="Verdana"><span style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20)"><br /></span></font></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: 16px"><font face="Verdana"><span style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20)">I also think it is close to Proof-Like, as shown here next to an actual proof.</span></font></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: 16px"><font face="Verdana"><span style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20)">[ATTACH=full]899448[/ATTACH] </span></font></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
