    Yeah... wish I’d have started earlier though... I’d have rarer coins... I know I had them when I was younger... same as an inverted $1 bill... when I was younger, I had some and I remember having them... now that I think back on them think, “why did I ever get rid of those?”

    Yes. I started in 1948 when my aunt gave 2 Liberty V Nickels. One was an 1883 without cents and the other was an 1885. The value of the 1885, $5 at the time, got me hooked.

    Another, from one of my early-2000s Registry sets, where the rather horrid images were done on a flatbed scanner.

    A circulated but wholesome example.

    A book of 25 of them I sold not long ago.

    One thing I don't presently have a picture of are my new 2020 elongated coins, 60 of which were rolled out on Barber dimes. I need to take some pictures of a few of them.

    Oh yeah- go to about the 5:00 minute mark in this video, if you want to see me dig one and get entirely too excited about it.

    Ha, that one is a transition variety! 1899 "early release" of Reverse 2 (1900-1905). Compare the left leaf vein with the 1892 I posted above - that's one of the markers.

    Interesting! Never heard of the variety. Worth anything?

    I would imagine the coin has retoned some after 27 years in my detector finds album. I cleaned it when it came out of the ground, of course.

    Wish I'd been a bit less agressive on some of those dug finds, and hadn't gone for the toothpaste so quickly...

    Almost nobody knows about these so no premium. Less common but not scarce. Here's my 1899's, Reverse 1 and Reverse 2 1899-P_Type1_2.jpg
