Ah, anyone direct me to the original story? I want to learn about Zaneman's heroism - and possibly win that coin! *grin*
I'm curious - how much will the lack of the little mint certificate and booklets reduce the value of these coins or is the value inherent?
It's a jewelers. Apparently this one guy is paying for his fiance's engagement ring with scrap silver - but you'd think he'd get more on ebay!

I got a 1902 liberty head nickel in change.
I don't know the grade it's raw! But when I get it in hand I'll post what I think. I'm really eager to hear what you guys think.
Oh yeah, that's when I become an executive!

I thought steel pennies were common, not valuable yet everytime someone mentions nuministics to me they're like ... 'oh steel penny worth money'....
