I've just finished the Jefferson nickels with a few proofs after 1970. The ones that were hardest for me to find were anything after 2009. When I did find them ( if I couldn't find them while hunting) from eBay they were quite pricey. I have put together 4 sets of the silver nickels with one set being BU. Great video as always. Thanks for the info and for sharing.
The Canadian coins with pure .999 magnetic nickel are also fun to collect. I've been focusing on stacking them this past year. The pure nickel Canadian dollars and quarters are the best. Thanks for all the good coin info too!!
Been doing Jeffs for about a decade. Time was you could, with enough effort, put together a representative set from coin roll hunting. I did it probably 8 years ago from 38 to 2004 or so from circulation. It took a lot of hunting, and I did eventually have to break down on the 50D and buy it separately. Then I went to work on just proofs from 68 onwards. This is very easy and turn up easily in dealer's bins in 2X2s for cheap up till you get around the proceeding 5 years or so, when-for some reason-dealers seem to think they are suddenly worth 10-15 times the others. I've put together a nice set of the proofs up till about 2017 or so. It's a fun set to complete.
I started collecting coins in 1958 at the age of 9. I never found either a 39d or 50d in rolls. The 42d was not very common. I did find some but not many. BU 42d were not cheap even way back. BU 50d's were $22! That is about equal to $120. In todays $. Lots of war nicks but very few 43d's. 38 d&s and 39s were around but not common. You have a very nice album of Jeff's going.
Really? That's crazy you never found them. I've only started saving and putting albums together and I've found several 39d and 50d and maybe 3 or 4 1942d . But I have good luck at my bank branch. If I go somewhere else I never find much of anything so might just be my branch
I got lucky on ebay a couple years ago, bought a Nickel collection in 1 1/2 × 1 1/2 flips 38 through 59 all mints including silver and 50 D. Only paid a little over $20, plus they all had mint luster although some were weaker strikes.
Got a coin collection from my father last year. Jefferson nickels are my fav, not sure why. Discovered the 42d and 41 large S in the collection recently. XF quality. Pretty cool. An AU or MS old Jefferson nickel with subtle toning is hard to beat imo.
I got my 6yo a pair of Whitman albums (Dansco knockoffs) and a box of nickels for Christmas for us to go through together. If I were to pick a coin to collect today it would probably be Jeffersons since you can build the full set from circulation...eventually... Your daughter's album is looking nicer than ours but as they say: there is no wrong way to collect.
Question: How would someone sell that Nickle Collection? Sell it in the book? remove key or expensive coins and sell the rest? Completely empty it sell individually?
Nice start to the set. As you said the 42-D is a tough coin to get in higher grades, David Bowers says that it is the hardest nickel to find rolls that were put aside for future profit. I purchased a beautiful rainbow toned MS66FS for $75 and will never let it go. I purchased the 1994 & 1997 SP nickels that are in the Thomas Jefferson coin and currency sets, do you think they will ever be slots in the vooks for these coins; I feel they are very undervalued for the mintage of 25K and 75K. Why are they still so cheap? Well good luck and you are well on your way to a premium nickel set which seems to have doubled in price in the last two years in BU. You have your finger on the pulse of the market, great video.
I put a MS-65 set 1938 thru 1964 together in 1990s; couldnt believe what it brought in 2006; putting new set together now( my LCS has 2 BU rolls of 1950-D for $280 each) tough to find locally unless there is a show or drive to Tulsa; thanks for your videos!
I 👍🙂 you did a great job putting your nickel album together your coins looks nice! Great information on collecting them. I have a nickel album, I just have to assemble them and I know I probably need more coins, thanks for the informational video🤗
This was a great video! I really enjoyed how you broken down the different dates, costs, and information on how some are more scarce than others. There was a lot of good information there that you don't really hear about and things you learn over the years of collecting. Great info to share and hear. Thanks!
Good evening Shaun! I've got a few different albums I've picked up at yard sales!(unfortunately empty) that I'm just beginning to try and fill. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes me. I enjoy coins and learning more and more!!
I bought the 1975 D nickel, raw, in about MS 65... Full Steps...I paid 4 dollars, 2 years ago. Now, I got a guy offering $300....I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. the Red Book value is just a few bucks in MS -65
I purchased two older Dansco nickle albums. Then a few ms 65 and 66 to use as comparison coins. Its Crazy what graders call full steps. I dont get it. Same with grading the 65 thru 67's. Sometimes I can not tell what's a 65 and whats a 67. I saw a ms 67 with missing hairline in the middle of Jefferson 's head. Reverse sometimes high grades but some of the doors or windows gone. Tough stuff. Have a 42D real full steps high grade at least ms65. Its been a blast. Started in October too

I keep all my Canada nickel. Pure nickel as compared to U.S. 25% nickel. Nickel is 13.29 per pound today 12-26-22.
Love the Canadian nickels and quarters!

I take advantage of Hobby Lobby 50 percent off coupons, usually only good for one item. They have coin albums so it makes a pretty good deal for me.

One of the 50d had FS and is Au most likely
Thank you for sharing your new collection. I enjoyed looking at it.

Now that my Lincoln set is down to finding wheat upgrades, I've been considering Jeffersons as my next set to begin. Great video.
Nice, I finished mine a while back, but I need some upgrades for sure.

I try to buy the uncirculated set for the year, so I can fill my other albums as well.
1941-S Large S hard to find as are the 1942-D Type 1; goodfortune!
I put a MS-65 set 1938 thru 1964 together in 1990s; couldnt believe what it brought in 2006; putting new set together now( my LCS has 2 BU rolls of 1950-D for $280 each) tough to find locally unless there is a show or drive to Tulsa; thanks for your videos!
Not bad,with the minor scratches,wouldn't bother me,as long as the insides are nice!🤗

Daniel Baker
Nice album, Shaun. I have the 42 D type 1 MS 66 FS, 1941 large S Ms 65 FS as well. I've been holding on to my collection for quite sometime now.
My coin shop sells albums for $3.50
What’s their website? I’d buy some from them.
Does the book, tell you the mintages? I don't see it on the the page?
Thank You for the information about Jefferson Nickels 👍😊.
ACtually try and find a nice 1977 Jefferson nickel with full steps. According to PCGS very hard and rather undervalued.
have UC 1950 D , patina is out of this world, just saying , my grand father left them to me
Kool album ♥👌
Hi Shaun,pretty cool album.
I do have 1964 D nickel mint strikes dime.
Man the 40-d has killer orange pastels... very cool
Well you got my fire lit to get started...
Great video blue.🤘

Good evening Shaun! I've got a few different albums I've picked up at yard sales!(unfortunately empty) that I'm just beginning to try and fill. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes me. I enjoy coins and learning more and more!!
Love ya Shawn 💯💪
I really like that 1
Wow! The prices sure have increased.
That is going be a gorgeous set
i have the 42 D over horizontal d
blue ridge pulled out my nickkes for video dont have many .aloha !!!
I bought the 1975 D nickel, raw, in about MS 65... Full Steps...I paid 4 dollars, 2 years ago. Now, I got a guy offering $300....I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. the Red Book value is just a few bucks in MS -65
Monsoon pain, maybe it's because you have the high D variety.
I think the 39-s has some pretty nice toning
I purchased two older Dansco nickle albums. Then a few ms 65 and 66 to use as comparison coins. Its Crazy what graders call full steps. I dont get it. Same with grading the 65 thru 67's. Sometimes I can not tell what's a 65 and whats a 67. I saw a ms 67 with missing hairline in the middle of Jefferson 's head. Reverse sometimes high grades but some of the doors or windows gone. Tough stuff. Have a 42D real full steps high grade at least ms65. Its been a blast. Started in October too
I'm curious on how that nickel got that way
There are no Full step nickels of the 1960's. The ones available are a fortune
Love it nice job
I have been trying to fill two nickle books. The prices have gone up more and more.
What date you want I will find for you here in yap Micronesia thanks
ya waitin' on the Second Coming of NINETEEN ninety five? Son?

Love those Dansco albums.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Someone is bringing in coins from a collection. Possibly the owner or a child or someone who stole a collection and is not bright enough to sell them.
I have 1942 d ..
