Message:: [QUOTE="JeffC, post: 8391517, member: 90913"]Back in April, [USER=19250]@Paddy54[/USER] again sent me more coins - this time, a bunch of nickels.  I didn't get to see them till recently.  So a belated thank you, Paddy, for your kindness again.  I know only some popular varieties, but never knew about any of these.  Always nice to learn something new. The first one:[ATTACH=full]1489058[/ATTACH] The second horn is between the "E" and "R." The second nickel:[ATTACH=full]1489059[/ATTACH] The third one:[ATTACH=full]1489060[/ATTACH] The fourth one:[ATTACH=full]1489061[/ATTACH] For this one, I'm not sure why it's called "Hobbled."  I see the die crack between the front two legs. And then there's these four very old nickels.[ATTACH=full]1489062[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1489063[/ATTACH] Paddy, remember that 1950-D Jefferson you gave me?  You mentioned that it was a hot potato and was really sought after at one time.  Well, I was reading a book by Q. David Bowers and he wrote about the demand for them back in the early 60's.  See highlights below.[ATTACH=full]1489085[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1489087[/ATTACH] Thought about you and that nickel when I read that part of the book.  Alrighteee... Have a great week and thanks again Paddy.[/QUOTE]
