<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 8657163, member: 104064&quot;]That&#039;s a good observation. Newman sold his Liberty nickel in 1949 and the 09/2011 Numismatist article indicates the Buffalo pattern (presumed Judd-1950) was sold prior to that. So the case had 6 <i>empty </i>holes for decades, and it probably got confused into the case having 6 holes. I ran across something a few days ago that corresponds to your recollection of a trade publication story, but it was so full of bunk that I didn&#039;t save the source. It also lines up with people saying there were &quot;five or six&quot; back in 1935 and perhaps even earlier. I don&#039;t know where that originated but it kept getting repeated. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1519264[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
