<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2146383, member: 19250&quot;]They were hand scribe&nbsp; and I can tell you this coins always have something&nbsp; going on. I have seen coins that the arrows&nbsp; shafts continue&nbsp; to run through&nbsp; the shield . Talking&nbsp;&nbsp; to Howard&nbsp; who is the official&nbsp; authority on attribution&nbsp; of shields he has filled&nbsp; up two CD&nbsp; &#039;s&nbsp; full of data on these nickels. I venture&nbsp; to say that there&#039;s&nbsp; even more still to be found. I myself have more 67,68,and 69 dates than other dates as these 3 date seem to carry the mother load of varieties .&nbsp; Not to discount&nbsp; other dates as each date has or could have a variety .&nbsp; The later dates more so the 70&#039;s are harder to find as their mintage&#039;s&nbsp; are smaller. And some were only proof struck.&nbsp; I really want at least one of every MS date, but finding the middle dates are sometimes&nbsp; hard to find. Look at the early mintage&#039;s&nbsp; and you see why .</p><p>No matter I still&nbsp; love buying&nbsp; 66-69 nickels,as well the 82 and 83. I for the most part won&#039;t buy a coin below an VF.</p><p>That said the middle dates can be costly in better condition.</p><p>Besides in the 68 alone there are 6 different&nbsp; reverse&nbsp; hubs.</p><p>To me collecting&nbsp; these is not about filling&nbsp; holes. It&#039;s&nbsp;&nbsp; about finding&nbsp; varieties&nbsp; that have yet to be discovered .</p><p>I dare to say if these&nbsp; nickels had of been struck in coin silver , they be in demand&nbsp; just as Bust half&#039;s, and Morgan&nbsp; silver&nbsp; dollars&nbsp; are.</p><p>But that&#039;s&nbsp; OK by me as I never worry&nbsp; about finding&nbsp; coins over looked by other collectors .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
