Message:: [QUOTE="borgovan, post: 470836, member: 13016"]I don't discriminate. Raw, slabbed, they're all fine with me. I mainly collect Jefferson nickels, which tend to be less expensive coins, though. Even with this, though, you have to watch for counterfeits. Both the 1950-D and 1939-D have been counterfeited. The war nickels and other dates were counterfeited by Henning, but you're actually fortunate if you find one of these, as they're quite collectible.  I saw an uncirculated 1939-D counterfeit at the MSNS show back in February of 2008. I told the dealer, and he said he would check with someone else about it, but when I checked with him the next day, he said he didn't get around to it yet. I told him I would buy it as a counterfeit if he still wanted to sell it (though at a lower price.) I hope he didn't sell it to someone who didn't know any better.[/QUOTE]
