<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1470043, member: 66"]You can give the credit for the 1913 V nickels popularity to Max B Mehl. During the Great Depression in the 1930's, Mehl was running ads on radio and full page ads in several of the national magazines offering to buy 1913 V Nickels for $50 each. Now when 25% of the population is unemployed and many people don't know where their next meal is coming from, if all you have to do to get almost two months wages is find one of those nickels and sell it to Mehl! EVERYONE was searching through coins trying to find that coin and EVERYONE in the country knew about that coin and that it was valuable. And that knowledge stayed with the people. If you ask a non-collector if he knows of any very rare coins, if he can come up with one it will most likely be the 1913 V Nickel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
