[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 839773, member: 16510"]The Liberty Nickle is kind of a mystery to me always has been. I like the coin though and would readily collect it if I wanted. Also there are many bargins to had in mint state coins within the set. Things the bother me or should I say confuse me are: Few have much interest in the series. I know that many do but compared to Buffalos or even Jeffersons it's never even seen the light of day. The Shield nickle has more interest and it has almost none in comparision to Buffs/Jeffs. Lack of die varieties. Now this really makes no sence at all. There are a few but the Shield nickel is chocked full, the Buffs and Jeffs also. Why did the mint have such a die variety free peroid? There is no explanation I have ever heard of that addresses this. Just think about it, the series/design with one of the top 5 rarest coins in U.S. history, the 1913, probably the #1 rarest most researched coin rarity. Plus during it's regular mintage the 12-S in Mint state is a super rare coin, heck now in any grade. I just don't understand this series??? Many experts have long said this series is chice ground for bargins but it has never really panned out and they keep saying this as I have here. I do not "get" this series???[/QUOTE]
