<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1947287, member: 66&quot;]The 1913 V nickel in general or the Olsen specimen in particular?&nbsp; The 1913 in general is very well known because of all of B Max Mehl advertising in the 30&#039;s and 40&#039;s.&nbsp; Even those that weren&#039;t around at the time heard the story from their parents or Grandparents.&nbsp; You have to get into the fourth generation after the ads ended before the story starts to fade from common knowledge.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you mean the Olsen specimen, that was probably because of the great popularity of the Hawaii-5-0 program when it was on the air and for several years afterward in syndication.&nbsp; &quot;The $100,000 Nickel&quot; episode was one of the most popular in the series and once again that left its mark on people.&nbsp; Most people over 40 have probably heard of it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
