Post your nickels

Found these 49 nickels in the Whitman for $4 which averages out to about 8 cents each including the folder which is in excellent condition. Nothing really to note so far and the grades are not great but it will be fun to go through and look at each coin. One war nickel to boot!

The black line on the rev from the buff head through the FIVE is on the plastic.

 

Picked up from LCS today.

 

Pretty good find for the price!

 

Here is a war set in 67.

 

One of two DDO-001's that I've found recently going through some mint sets. They're both in really good shape.

 

Picked this up from my LCS and perfect opp for my newest pickup the Nikon B500. So cool can pick up the dies cracks and lamination on the reverse. Unfortunately the scratch on the obverse stands out (as it should). Still learning the nuances of this equipment (such as the white balance) but already noticeable difference in details...

 

Nice!

 

Just playing around with the new camera and getting the white balance figured out a bit on this xf clipped Jeff.

 

So I've been having some fun with a old proof set of my dad's. After he passed I just through it in a drawer where it sat for 30 years. Took it out a few months back and found some pretty special things in it, including a No S 1971 nickel. Had it graded by PCGS (picks below) and yes, I must be living right. Thought I'd share it here. Only about 20 graded higher.

New arrival. Last piece of my NGC registry set: Santini’s War Nickels. Go have a look.

 

Nice multi colored toning. And yep that is a lamination peel at about 7:00. Should I try to press it back down or leave it? I don't think it will fit into a direct fit airtite as it is...

 

I am starting to rephotograph my Buffalo nickels. Here's the first in line.

 

Saw a funny couple tonight on eBay while looking at war nickels. One listing advertised “partial steps.” The other said “with steps.” Neither slab listed full steps.

Something comes to mind about “trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.”

Or maybe the sellers are hoping for low reading comprehension.

 

A couple of recent additions to my Buffalo set.

1918/17-D


1925-S (2-Feather variety)

 

That’s a really nice 51-S, bravo!

 

Another new photograph. This was not previously posted.

 

Love the toning on this one. Nice toning doesn't have to be on the Rainbow variety.
