<p>[QUOTE="cncman, post: 911170, member: 17256"]I can question lots of collections, to me, lincolns are pretty boring, not to mention Ikes and kennedys. Of course just because it isn't for me doesn't mean it isn't for someone or that they are somehow less worthy of collecting. For me, the jeffersons were one of the few sets I could put together in high grade relatively inexpensively and represented a real challenge, getting some in MS state were difficult before ebay and the internet. Also, you can make collecting jefferson collecting as hard as you want if you want to look at varieties, some of the most interesting varieties can be found, double eye, horizontal OMMs overdates etc. PLus add the interesting different compositions with the silver war nickels and you have some interesting coins to collect. Plus the hardness of the nickle composition which leads to reduced die life finding well struck examples pose another challenge. Financially I bought well, early and my set has probably appreciated more than just about any other set I could have reasonably been able to put together. Point is, I don't think there is room for disparaging any collection, anyone can get the same satisfaction out of any set. But thats my 2 cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
