<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1691426, member: 29643&quot;]There&#039;s another viewpoint that isn&#039;t being considered:</p><p><br /></p><p>The Trade Dollars are all in the public, and theoretically available. Since two of the nickels are in permanent collections of museums, so the actual circulation of 1913 Liberty nickels is really 3. And two of the three are in &quot;lifer&quot; collections. Of the two in permanent collections, one was actually circulated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of the five coins, two were proofs and three were standard strikes. The two in permanent collections are both of the &quot;standard strike&quot; variety, which means there are two proof and one business strike versions of the 1913 Liberty nickel.</p><p><br /></p><p>By contrast, all five of the 1885 Trade Dollars were proofs.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, the reality is there are five 1885 Trade Dollar proof strike coins, three 1913 Liberty Nickel business strike coins (of which one is in the Smithsonian and the other is owned by the ANA), and two 1913 Liberty Nickel proof strike coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Population potentially available for private collectors:</p><p><br /></p><p>1885 Proof struck Trade Dollars - 5</p><p>1913 Proof struck Liberty Nickels - 2</p><p>1913 Business struck Liberty Nickels - 1[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
