<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 534876, member: 15309"]I agree, the Sunday and Tuesday Internet only sales have some really great bargains on quality coins. You don't see as much of the really high end stuff like you do in the signature sales and there are many many coins each week under $100. For example, check out this beautiful 1943-D NGC MS67 Jefferson Nickel. The only noteworthy distraction on the entire coin is the hit on the steps. That is good and bad. It is bad if you are a full step collector because that is the focal point of the coin. It is good if you are not because it will chase most of the other bidders away. Other than that one hit, this coin is gorgeous. It has a good overall strike, is dripping with luster, and has what I can promise is knockout iridescent toning. The coin is presently at $18 with 2 days left and a wholesale value of $42.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=29031&Lot_No=23173#photo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=29031&Lot_No=23173#photo" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=29031&Lot_No=23173#photo</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you are a newbie, then I would suggest that Heritage is exactly the place you should be looking to purchase your coins.
