<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 541566, member: 15309&quot;]For the last few months I have been searching for a 1943-S NGC MS67 Jefferson Nickel to replace the ugly duckling that had resided in that slot in my registry set.&nbsp; Of the 11 standard date/mm coins in the Jefferson War Nickel series, the 1943-S is (IMO) the most challenging to locate with attractive rainbow toning and luster.&nbsp; Some of the other dates (1944-D, 1945-S) seem to grow on trees.&nbsp; But finding an attractively toned 1943-S is like searching for a needle in a haystack.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have finally found a coin suitable to fill the 1943-S slot in my NGC registry set.&nbsp; Although it is not technically an upgrade, I think the photos will show otherwise.&nbsp; Below I have shown a large picture of the new coin (obv &amp; rev) as well as comparison photos of my original 1943-S MS67 (the ugly duckling) and the new 1943-S.&nbsp; I have also included a photo of the entire set.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1943-SNGCMS67Obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1943-SNGCMS67Reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1943-SNGCMS677002-4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1943-SNGCMS671.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/TheAtlanticCitySetofJeffersonNic-4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This leaves the set almost complete and virtually unimprovalbe.&nbsp; Only the 1943-P has a real chance of being replaced in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please give me your comments regarding my most recent addition.&nbsp; Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
