As usual paul, I learn something new about Jeff's from your posts.

 

what a beauty brg!

 

Now that is what Jeff's cheek & jaw are supposed to look like.

 

I would love to one day own a war nickel that still had luster to it. heck, even if it wasn't that burnt black color it would be great. I only 3 thus far, but I will always keep them!

 

NICE Nickels all.

I do have the 43 series in FS grade at MS66. I will try to build them up to the full set

 

This is somewhere else on this thread; I decided to reshoot it. These pics bring out the gold toning much better.

 

I have a few.

 

Wow, look at that definition in the facial features. Very nice.

 

Those 43-S nickels are some of the best struck in the series. This one has a dynamite strike.

 

Yes it does Lehigh.

BTW Lehigh are you secretly Bill Gates?

 

Forgot to take an obverse image of this beauty, but this is one killer coin! (43-D)

 

I don't take pics.

I do love the pic above! Cool

I found a "S" war nickel about a couple weeks ago. I was delighted. It was in one of my rolls. I searched over 2,000 nickels that time around (just over $100 face).
Fun!

 

I love these coins gbroke. I only have one high grade nickel, a 1943 ms 66 or so, and am in the process of buying more.

 

How about a bit of toning? I got this beauty for a fair cheap price. Nice coin though the building looks like kids vandalized and egged the place.

 

and more.

 

Great nickels all!

I like to buy those nice albums filled with unc Jeffersons when I find them with really nice coins in them. As pointed out they can be had for about $100 for the whole set.
