Yes, there is a nickel without all the blemishes and hype, that If you had it, you could retire on its value alone. The one nickel in question is the 1913 Liberty Head Niclel which just sole for $4.15 million dollars. The second highest price ever reported paid for a rare coin. Legend Numismatics, a coin dealership in N.J. bought it from Ed Lee's collection. One of only five nickels known to exist. Now, this is the kind of nickel to spend time looking for. You may never find it but the thrill is in the hunt. Oh yes, there are no spears, horns or humps and bumps to strain your eyes looking for either. Happy hunting.
I would Much Rather Spend my TIME searching for REAL errors on the BISON Nickel. I know this is a joke to YOU, but some of us like to COLLECT varieties of the BISON. The varieties are REAL and they DO SELL for a premium. I have spent an lot of time and money on the Bison Search, it's exciting when you find something. What you got against the Bison Varieties?????? The Mint made them. not ME!!!!
Are you Lazy??? Yes the thrill is in the HUNT, what do think I'm doing, hunting for varieties on a very popular coin that is only issued for 6 months. Who cares if an album comes out with 50 holes for Bison varieties. Kinda cool YOU and the KIDS can search (HUNT) a modern coin for errors and varieties. Kinda like collecting something. My daughter found her First 2 error coins on a Bison. Should I tell her it's NOT important enough and she shouldn't hunt through coins anymore. Lighten up.........Spears, horns, cuds, are real and being found TODAY! Did you find that other nickel YOU ARE looking for. LOL!!!!!!!!
ok....first thing, and I say this being just as guilty of throwing out personal barbs, if you've got an issue with another member here, take it to PM. Don't air it out in the forum. Its childish at best. Second, personally, I put the 1913 nickel in the same catagory as the intentionally muled Sacs. Unique, yes, but it doesn't change that they were both minted illegally by mint employees. "But five 1913 nickels depicting Miss Liberty were minted illegally, possibly by a mint official. They were never placed into circulation and for years it was considered illegal to own one. That is no longer the case. " I wouldn't pay more than $2 for one. That being said, if I find a genuine 6th 1913 liberty nickel, I won't argue if someone wants to pay me $4 million for it
Its debatable, and there have been several threads on it, but some of the muled Sacs (Sac obverse, washington reverse) are said to have been made intentionally by mint employees.
I went down 2 the bank 2 try and withdraw 4 million....they wanted me 2 fill out a IRS form, guess no nickel 4 me
