<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stevereecy, post: 840879, member: 19884&quot;]Lehigh,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You are a God to me.&nbsp; You just confirmed what I thought I knew and answered so many questions that I&#039;ve had about these series.&nbsp; You also gave me a good resource for determining the values of these things.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been using E-bay as a touchstone for figuring out what stuff should cost and a little bit of dead reckoning.&nbsp;&nbsp; I was surprised to see that I didn&#039;t get a &quot;great&quot; price on my &#039;42D, as I have been watching the auctions pretty close and I was kind of amazed what even the loose prices were.&nbsp; As you know, the &#039;42D is a tough cookie in high grade, and that was the last big hole in my collection...I already have a the &#039;39 S &amp; D in high grade, though they are loose.&nbsp; I&#039;m going to send them off to be slabbed.&nbsp; I&#039;ll have to send you a picture of my &#039;39D...it&#039;s pretty amazing (toning) but you&#039;d break your legs trying to walk up the steps on the back. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Candidly, the full steps for me have been an afterthought...I&#039;ve been going after high grade toned jeffersons firstly.&nbsp; But I&#039;ve seen such a nice return on the Jeffersons that I&#039;ve decided that staying with &quot;investment grade&quot; coins is prudent.&nbsp; I am amazed sometimes how inexpensive this series is relative to the level of difficulty associated with putting together something really nice.&nbsp; It will be our secret. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hey, if you want to collaborate on duplicates, let me know.&nbsp; I have a lot of nice raw war nickels.&nbsp; I tend to buy good things when I see them and then look at my want list later.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m focusing on &#039;49 through &#039;60 now...I only need four before 1949.&nbsp; I had this thought that it would be cool to put together a super high grade slabbed set of just the war nickels...like all &#039;67&#039;s...seems like that would be fun, eh?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
