[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1251975, member: 112"]Regarding the so called 6th nickel - [I]"This led to a lot of conjecture that there were actually six 1913 Liberty Nickels minted and one had been held back in secret by the family or was lost -- and the Buffalo Nickel placed into the case as a filler coin for the empty hole."[/I] The key word there is conjecture.
