<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 144388, member: 66&quot;]No research that I know of indicates that six were struck.&nbsp; All the stories of six trace back to one of two reasons.&nbsp; One was old stores about the case that held the nickels while they were owned by Col Green having six holes and there for there might be a sixth one, or attempts to trace the pedigrees of all the coins not being able to account for the fact that there seemed to be pedigrees for six coins.&nbsp; This was finally straighted out when it turned out that the so-called Reynolds specimen doesn&#039;t really exist and is actually the the samecoin as the&nbsp; Walton specimen that had been missing since his death in a car accident in 1962 until it was brought to the ANA convention a couple years ago.&nbsp; As for the holder, the description of it as having six holes was an error, it has eight holes and held the five V nickels, a copper die trial of the Buffalo nickel, A coppernickel pattern of the Buffalo without the designers initial, and a regular business strike 1913 Type I Buffalo nickel.&nbsp; The holder (with the buffalos) is still owned by Eric Newman who purchased it with all eight nickels from the Green estate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
