Great coins! Where's your 1913 V Nickel? ;-)

 

Maybe sooner then I think..............

 

Some more regrades. Not the most interesting coins. The 1869 is now top pop MS66+ 1/0. I've been nailing the upgrades this year. A ton have gone up a full grade and CAC'd.

 

Here are a few from my next PCGS submission.

The 53 looks like FS to me, hopefully PCGS agrees.
They are very scarce in full steps with a population of 14 for all grades.

My grade: 65FS




My Grade: 66FS


My grade: 67FS

Here is the same 41 D. Different imaging techniques.

 

These are from hand picking proof sets in the 80's

 

Nickels come in such great varieties and some of those varieties can still be found in change: the V nickel, the buffalo nickel, the war nickel....the shield nickel might be occasionally found in circulation even though I've never found one. They're one of my favorite coins.

 

Some newbies.

I think I am in love with that 58-D you have there. If you ever get rid of that one please let me have first dibs on it. It would go well with my 58 Rainbow Lincoln.

 

Found this in my change

 

I have some Buffalo Nickels, I have a lot of Jefferson Nickels that end up mixed in with our Canadian change, but, up until now, I've only had one Silver War Nickel. I wasn't sure how to go about getting some nice circulated examples as a starting point. I wasn't going to pay $2 - $3 a piece plus shipping to Canada on each, so, I just ignored them for a bit. The only one I ever came across, was at a militaria show, at the height of the recent silver boom, and it was a dollar (added photos of it earlier in this topic). Well, that all changed recently, when I came across this reasonably priced set. Silver is taking a well deserved nosedive. I figure this set will give me a bit of insight into how these wear, tone, change color, etc., as well as the mint mark location and appearance. Circulation that I'm not entirely familiar with, at its best...

 

Great provenance.

And Green probably got it from change
