<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 840926, member: 15309&quot;]Steve,</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the kudos my friend.&nbsp; It is refreshing to see another collector passionate about Jefferson nickels.&nbsp; My collection is centered around eye appeal, but I make it a point to obtain full step examples when the date/mm is commonly found in full steps.&nbsp; The 42-D is not particularly tough in full steps but is very tough in high grade with exceptional eye appeal.&nbsp; This is the best I could do so far and I am looking for an upgrade.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1942-DNGCMS67H1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>You should consider entering your coins in the NGC registry.&nbsp; It is a great way to keep track of your collection and to show others.&nbsp; If you are focusing on eye appeal, the NGC point system rewards coins with the star designation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The war nickel set is what sparked my interest in the series.&nbsp; I purchased a lot of 4 Appalachian toned war nickels from Anaconda and was off an running.&nbsp; Before I knew it, I had completed the entire set in MS67 save the 43/2-P.&nbsp; Once I added the overdate, I searched incessantly looking for upgrades.&nbsp; While I am still on the lookout, improving the coins in my set at this point is proving very difficult.&nbsp; In case you have not seen it, I presently own the 2nd ranked NGC registry set of Jefferson War Nickels:</p><p><font size="4"><span style="color: Blue"><br /></span></font></p><p><font size="4"><span style="color: Blue">The Atlantic City Set of Jefferson War Nickels</span></font></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickel%20Registry/TheAtlanticCitySetofJeffersonNic-4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/MySets_Listing.aspx?PeopleSetID=52816" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/MySets_Listing.aspx?PeopleSetID=52816" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://boards.collectors-society.com/signatures/signature.php/NGC/set/52816/sig.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Amazingly, only 4 of the 12 are full steps.&nbsp; My best chances at upgrades are the 1942-P, 1943/2-P, and the 1943-D.&nbsp; Assembling a set of MS67 war nickel is very fun indeed.&nbsp; I am now working on my PCGS registry set.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Let me know if you ever have any questions about the series or need any help locating a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
