This set contains a mix of Jefferson Nickels from blast white blazers, toned beauties (both mild and extreme) to condition rarities all in NGC holders.
Now, I will be the first to admit that I am a fan of a nice toner. To me, there is just something about a clean well struck Jeff with some color to it. I'm all about it. Quite frankly, ate up with it pretty bad. However, a crisp blast white Jeff is a sight to behold. Then we get to the "condition rarity" coins which sometimes you have to take what you can get. In my experience usually not the nicest examples and cost the most money. There are a few varieties in the mix as well. All that being said, this collection is a mix of all the above but as of late, it has gravitated more toward eye appealing toned examples. I'm very proud of this set and the goal is to maintain a top spot in the registry.
There are a few standouts in the set that add a lot of character and zip to the collection. I'm always looking for "character" of some sort in my coins. You have to earn it to be in this set. No slackers. If you have read this far then I applaud you for your commitment. Here are a few must see coins for your viewing pleasure.

This set wouldn't be what it is without the beautiful images. I feel that images of coins are a form of art. That is where my good friend Crazyhounddog (A.K.A Joe B.) comes into the mix. I was lucky enough to meet Joe through my collecting journeys, and we have become budz. His photography skills are second to none and my coins have reaped the benefits. All of the coin images or "art" in this set is his amazing work. It's an honor and a privilege to work with him. Hats off to you my friend and I thank you.
I hope you will enjoy the show, and tell Susan thanks for the corndogs.
