Completed my Jefferson Collection!

[Rosco53]

4 bags today, got my 21st Buffalo:


First George V1:


And, the final piece!!!:


I did my first Nickel bag on April 13th, so was able to complete my Jefferson collection in just under 7 months. In that time:
202,000 nickels searched
21 Buffalo Nickels
5 Liberty Nickels
66 War Nickels
Coins from 12 different countries

Funny thing is, I started out hoping just to find a single Buffalo... Happy hunting everyone!

I love how this coin thing can morph in full obsession. Great job following through and accomplishing a goal that just started with one. I love it....congratulations.

Congrats my friend, a very cool accomplishment. I've hunted more than twice that many nickels and still need the '43-D you jut found. I've found 135 war nickels, 228 buffalo's, 11 V nickels, 37 proof nickels and not a single 1943-D. Nice work.

Rosco: nice job on the completion in such a short period. Now if you can help me with completion of the Lincoln cents series (Wheaties), for my THIRTEEN GRANDKIDS, hahaha.

I really didn't have this in mind as a goal, just a side effect I guess. Started off searching for Buffaloes, found war nickels, and some nice regular ones, figured as long as I was searching keep the dates too... As for whats next, same ol'. Keep getting bags hoping for Buffalos and maybe another Liberty...

I found ~170+ buffalo’s, 4 V’s, many old Canadians and every Non-silver Jefferson expect the ‘50-d from a $32 CWR pick up several years ago.
