<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2019479, member: 70703&quot;]So I&#039;ve been putting a raw ungraded Liberty nickel collection together for over a year and a half now...I&#039;ve tried to take it slow when picking my pieces because I&#039;m going with an F to VF set. It can be harder some times, I think, to put a set of worn pieces together that look similar or look like they should be together in a set. I like this grade range because the coins in this range are relatively inexpensive for the amount detail still left in the coin in this range. The more I do this, I&#039;m realizing I also like the more classic coinage to show some wear...its odd I like my more modern pieces to be MS, but the older stuff I like worn.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhoo...I&#039;ve noticed something in the Lib Nic Market and wondering if its just me, or if its a trend. There seems to be a huge gap in the prices being asked for these nickels and what gray sheet ask or FMV, (or any other price guide) says they should go for. And before anyone says, welcome to the game, I get that this is the case for most every coin available out there, but the gap seems to be larger for Liberty Nickels. Why is that? I also see more liberal assumptions as to the grade of a coin in a listing than other coins, compared to most grading guides. Is the Liberty Nickel market enjoying a more than normal increase in value, and the price guides just behind in catching up with that...is it something that&#039;s always been there with the Lib Nics?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
