<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 8635342, member: 104064&quot;]Did it say which example it is? </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s more than you ever wanted to know about the 1913 Liberty nickel, starting on page 6. <a href="https://media.stacksbowers.com/VirtualCatalogs/CatalogLibrary/SBG_1913_Nickel_Supplement_LR.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://media.stacksbowers.com/VirtualCatalogs/CatalogLibrary/SBG_1913_Nickel_Supplement_LR.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://media.stacksbowers.com/VirtualCatalogs/CatalogLibrary/SBG_1913_Nickel_Supplement_LR.pdf</a></p><p>It&#039;s a long and sometimes scattered account, but fascinating. I had no idea that one of them, the Walton coin, went missing for so long. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=73489]@GoldFinger1969[/USER]&nbsp; Bottom left page 8 is proof that they already had the dies: &quot;However, certain dies and hubs for the 1913 coinage remained on hand as late as February 24, 1913, as evidenced by this correspondence from Philadelphia Mint Superintendent John H. Landis to Director Roberts...&quot; and had even sent some to San Francisco.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=26302]@medoraman[/USER] There apparently was never a 6 holed case. Col. Green&#039;s case had 8 holes: &quot;The “little black case” contained slots for eight 5-cent coins. ... They included the five 1913 Liberty Head 5-cent coins, a unique copper 1913 Indian Head 5-cent pattern, a 1913 Indian Head cent circulation strike and a copper-nickel pattern 1913 Indian Head 5-cent coin without initial F on the shoulder.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s no mention of the first run of $40000 worth of Buffalo nickels being &quot;recoinage.&quot; Maybe it&#039;s not worth speculating about. Philadelphia was specifically instructed to &quot;do nothing about&nbsp; five-cent coinage for 1913 until the new designs are ready for use.&quot; on December 13, 1912. Did they adhere to this directive? We&#039;ll never know. Obviously Samuel Brown and Stephen Nagy didn&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
