Jefferson Nickel Set from the Wild Complete!

[baddbluff]

Don't post much lately, but thought this was cool.
Pulled a key date 1938S from the wild today to complete my Jefferson nickel set! I've been down to one coin for over a year now. It's a really nice AU coin. Kinda weird: all three keys are super nice (1938S AU, 1939D AU and 1950D XF+).
Happy hunting all!

Way to go baddbluff.

The non-cynical of us recognize this as an accomplishment to be proud of. Clearly, you cannot sell that pride or sense of accomplishment, but neither can anyone take it away from you - not even a small minded, shallow thinking forum troll.

Admiration well deserved.

'38-'59 nickel sets wholesale for $16 in case you were curious.

(Including wars)

At what grade would those sets be?

At what grade would those sets be?

Circ. AZ Coin Exchange is one of the biggest wholesalers, and last I checked they were paying $16 a set. Unc sets are probably more lucrative.

I think where you live makes a difference. Us west coast hunters have a lot better chance of finding all of those coins due to where they were originally released in circulation.

Very true. I was an east coast searcher for my first ten collecting years. D's & S's were rather uncommon. Been on the west coast for the last 30+ years and D's & S's suddenly became more plentiful. Enough to actually complete a roll of some tougher dates such as 48-S and 51-S.
