ANA has announced that the Olsen 1913 Liberty Nickel is going up for auction in the Heritage 2010 FUN auction. This Olsen specimen, was once owned by Egypt's King Farouk. I checked the Heritage site and it is not being advertised there yet. Should we start a pool on the hammer price? Any guesses? __________________ ANA - MSNS - EAC - SLCC - NLOC "A penny hit by lightning is worth six cents" Opie Taylor   11-03-2009, 11:19 PM   #2 (permalink) bobbeth87 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: I live near Houston, Texas Posts: 1,805 My Mood: 3 million __________________ Bob   11-04-2009, 02:21 PM   #3 (permalink) AlexN2coins2004 Some Guy Wondering Around     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Grand Island, NE Posts: 463 My Mood: $3,000,100   11-04-2009, 02:31 PM   #4 (permalink) TheBigH Senior Member   Join Date: Aug 2007 Posts: 577 $4,250,900   11-04-2009, 02:37 PM   #5 (permalink) PennyGuy Ones and Twos     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Jackson MI Posts: 1,335 My Mood: For those of us that remember the TV series Hawaii Five-O, this is the coin that was featured in Season 6, Episode 14, titled "The $100,000 Nickel" The coin ended up in a vending machine.... The episode first aired in December 1973 I'm gonna put my guess at $3,750,000 hammer price __________________ ANA - MSNS - EAC - SLCC - NLOC "A penny hit by lightning is worth six cents" Opie Taylor Last edited by PennyGuy; 11-04-2009 at 02:38 PM.

I've got several of those in my Albums. Thought those were common. Was that one ever in circulation. That would lower the price you know.   11-05-2009, 10:34 AM   #10 (permalink) PennyGuy Ones and Twos     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Jackson MI Posts: 1,335 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Just Carl So why all the fuss?

Heritage should have it on their site soon. __________________ ANA - MSNS - EAC - SLCC - NLOC "A penny hit by lightning is worth six cents" Opie Taylor   11-05-2009, 08:14 PM   #11 (permalink) TheBigH Senior Member   Join Date: Aug 2007 Posts: 577 Quote: Originally Posted by Just Carl So why all the fuss?

Is it true that the only circulated specimen is the one that was kept as a pocket piece by the son of Hetty Green?   11-05-2009, 07:56 PM   #12 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,352 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by PennyGuy Good guess, if there was a prize we could share it.
