The 1956 Denver Jefferson posted by James G. Berline

[CSJournals-migration]

It took me years searching for this Denver minted fs nickel

 

Like most Jefferson nickels in the 1950s finding one with complete fullsteps is very challenging,regardless of grade.

My MS67 is a beauty in itself'however finding one in MS-66

FS is the ultimate for me.

 

In reference to David Bowers he mentioned that throughout

the annals of the five cent piece,the Denver Mint has earned

the lowest marks for quality of its coins.Finding any that

show full details will be very challenging to find.

 

I believe the Red Book of Buffalo and Jefferson nickels by

Q.David Bowers would be an exceptional starting point for beginning collectors' in which I have read many times over.

 

Collecting in the Jefferson series has been a wonderful

journey for me,and I hope new collectors starting out will

also enjoy it as much as I have.

Very nice Jim. Still looking for mine but I do have a raw 1956 D fullstep that I will be sending in shortly.

 

 

Take care,

Good job Jim!!

 

I have 32 FS Jeffersons in my set so far. It will be great to have that number doubled in a year or two.
