<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 691300, member: 15309&quot;]This is a difficult question to answer without some additional information. The first question is what slab? Prices are very different between NGC and PCGS for Jefferson Nickels because PCGS is more conservative. The second question is are you talking about FS or non full steps. That designation would make a huge price difference. Lastly, are you going to include the varieties such as the 1943-P DDO (Doubled Eye) and the 1943/2-P overdate. Including the varieties will make the price sky rocket and they will be the most expensive coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since you didn&#039;t provide information about what is included I will assume you are talking about the 11 core issues in non full step graded by NGC. The answer would be all of the coins are in the same price range. Here are the Numismedia FM values in MS66 &amp; MS67 and you will find these prices to be pretty close to auction prices realized.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1942-P----------$30----------$70</p><p>1942-S----------$39----------$80</p><p>1943-P----------$30----------$60</p><p>1943-D----------$30----------$53</p><p>1943-S----------$30----------$65</p><p>1944-P----------$38----------$117</p><p>1944-D----------$28----------$68</p><p>1944-S----------$33----------$71</p><p>1945-P----------$32----------$221</p><p>1945-D----------$27----------$63</p><p>1945-S----------$30----------$80</p><p>Total------------$347---------$948</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The 1943-D may have the lowest mintage, but it is by far the easiest to locate even in full steps and is the cheapest coin in the set. The 1944-P is tough to find in MS67 with good eye appeal, but the key in MS67 has to be the 1945-P. With a total population of 360/2 and all the war nickel collectors, well, you do the math. Keep in mind, I have two of them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If your goal is to complete an NGC registry set, you can assemble a decent set without the overdate for less than $1,000 and be in the top 40. If you want to break into the top 20 you will need the overdate which will run you over $500 in MS64. The number 1 spot is unattainable, but to compete for a top 10 spot, it will get expensive. My registry set is currently ranked 3rd and cost well over $10,000.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I highly encourage you to build one of these sets. It is affordable, fun, and Cointalk members already have 6 of the top 50 sets in the NGC registry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
