<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 1755938, member: 3726&quot;]Mintages are not the only driving factor in pricing coins.&nbsp; Availability and demand can also drive pricing.&nbsp; Not many people collect shield nickels because of the key dates. So I believe there is less demand in general than liberty nickels.&nbsp; I believe more people collect liberty nickels, but possibly lower grades.&nbsp; Just my opinion.&nbsp; Now if want varieties - go with the shield nickels.&nbsp; Lots of varieties - recut dates, doubled dies, over dates.&nbsp; I really like the DDO.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The &quot;with cents&quot; is the one that costs more than &quot;without cents&quot;.&nbsp; Yet of the 3 coins the 1883 shield nickel runs a little more from what I have seen than the two liberty nickels - at least in talking in general.&nbsp; You get to some of the higher grades and it can be different.&nbsp; I actually think in morgans that there are a couple of dates you would call key dates if you want MS64 coins - easier to find a VF to XF coin, but tough to find a MS coin.&nbsp; Same for buffalo nickels - I think there are a couple dates like that also.&nbsp; To me the most notable is the 09-SVDB - plenty of those around but demand keeps the prices. Just my most humble opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
