[QUOTE="glaciermi, post: 181770, member: 4097"]I'd almost suggest starting out with a matching set of proof jeffersons, either PCGS, or NGC. They are all full steps, and twice as nice looking. You can get a full set of 1974-2006 PR69 DCAMs (deep cameo's are it, for the best the nickel coin has to offer) for generally $10-20 a nickel graded. 1939-1973 will run you more (ok.. more is understating it, a 1960 PR67 DCAM ran me $150) and be a bit trickier. So why am I saying this, being a card carrying FSNC member and collecting FS nickels for 4 years? Well at best it's always a judgement call, regardless if it's graded by a professional or sold by an individual (is that a nick or a tick or a bridge or a cut). It gets mighty expensive, (your collection will never be worth the dollar amount you'll put into it) and there are alot of nickels. Be prepared to spend $3K and still not have a full set. On the other hand it is fun. I think there is a thread under variety nickels that goes into a bit more depth.[/QUOTE]
