<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 8520760, member: 19250&quot;]I hate to pop anyones bubble...however truth be told Jefferson nickels need be top of the mark&nbsp; grade,or variety wise. Yes true the war year specimens are worth melt possibly better.</p><p>As a Jefferson nickel collector who had a date ,variety, ever minted I can assure you you&#039;ll never get rich collecting them. Unless they are all 69 &amp; 70 grades and you find a dealer who has a clientele who collects them.</p><p>Circulated coins are very easy as well cheap to aquire or purchase. Resales are flat.</p><p>Now don&#039;t misunderstand I enjoyed chasing them. However even keys ,and varieties do not hold an audience.&nbsp; Franklin&#039;s half dollars,as well Roosevelt dimes are flat....on numerous occasions I have witnessed first hand dealers turning down any offers to buy. </p><p>I do not post this to poo poo anyones fun ....I post this to educate...As there&#039;s nothing more unproductive than a collector who had a bad experience in the hobby. I rather speak truth than have a collector soured by a bad experience. </p><p>To each their own... but a word to the wise...</p><p>And yes I agree hunting varieties no matter the series is fun...but how productive?&nbsp; I see 1950 D&#039;s the series key sell for &lt;$20 unc. </p><p>And again this was a series I loved collecting...but have liquidated just about 2/3&#039;s of my&nbsp; Jeffersons....collection esspecially the key and varieties . Why? Because I was loosing&nbsp; money ....and honesty couldn&#039;t see the series on a rebound any time soon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
