Post Your Liberty Head "V" Nickels

I have the lone S mint.

 

Unlike many collectors, I like Proof pieces as type coins. Their sharpness and luster makes the designs more appealing in my opinion. They can also be a bit cheaper at times.

Here is my 1883 No Cents Nickel in Proof. This is a partial year type which makes it a bit more expensive than the other common date Proof coins of this era. NGC graded this one PR-65.



This 1909 nickel is my "With Cents" type coin. This is the most common date in Proof. The reason is that collectors kept ordering the minor coin Proof sets (cent and nickel) as the mint issued three types of cents that year.

NGC graded this piece PR-66, Cam.



The 1912-D and S Liberty Nickels were the first nickel five cent pieces to be issued by the branch mints. It took congressional authorization to make that happen.

The first 1912-D nickels were struck in February. Coin is very common in the Good and VG grades, but become progressively more expensive in grades of VF and higher. This one is graded MS-65.



All of the 1912-S Liberty Nickels were minted during the last week of 1912. They were the last Liberty Nickels that the government issued officially. Of course the shady dealings that went on with the 1913 Liberty Nickels make them the last of their kind. This piece is graded MS-65.

 

Very nice @johnmilton!

 

That 1903 top right looks like a potentially wrong planchet error..

 

This is definitely the nicest we have offered, but we really like it.

 

Interesting 1903, either:
1) contemporary counterfeit= just a possibility- Picture not clear enough to be sure.


or

2) nickel cut down to dime size for use in a coin machine.

see above, wrong planchet could be either a cent, and it isn't brown, or a dime planchet,- and not silver.

 

I forgot I had this coin too

 

Is that the real color?
If so, you may have PVC on it.

 

Yes. The coin has a soft and beautiful toning.

 

I like the color of that one 1898

 

I must admit i do like the 1883 without the cent thing

 

Yikes. What a cool coin

 

What does series 18 mean?

 

Is that a cleaned coin. No harm. Just showing how little i know

 

Would a hit like that tear up a die. Would coins after a strike like that be normal. Asking if there would be side effects. Great coin
