I pick them up occasionally, but not often. I had recently got an 1884 in G condition...

 

Thanks for the great response!

 

I have a few, no biggies. This proof shows some cameo.

 

Here is a 1909 of mine.
Looks like she will have some problems going to the prom with that...

 

Wow, those are nice. Can anybody tell me what to expect to pay, for one of those V nickels, unslabbed? Thanks.

 

1891 - PCGS 58 -

 

What grade are you after - if buying a Raw coin -
I'd go for an AU 55-58 - all the detail without all the
price of a MS.

I paid $155 for the 1891 V Nickel in PCGS 58.

 

That really depends, if you are talking like condition like some of the ones I've posted, maybe you shell out a few bucks.
If you are talking high MS, then it could get into much more expensive prices. Do a search on eBay's Completed Listings (do search on eBay for V Nickels, then on the left, in one of the sidebars there is a box you can click for Completed Listings, you have to scroll down to see it)
That should give you an idea of what they go for.

 

Thanks. Looks like E-Bay is a pretty good source for purchases. I have a coin dealer in my area. I may inquire on whether or not they have any world notes. I have a few from vacationing in different countries, but there's alot of cool old notes, as well. This also seems less expensive than silver in many cases and something I'd like to get more into.

 

Here's another from my Certified collection...

 

Here is my one and only nice one, along with a roll of well circulated common dates.

 

here's a couple from my collection:

1912-d


1900

 

I don't have too many images as I'm
still working on a certified set of V Nickels.

Here's the Obverse image of my certified 1884
Graded AU 58 by PCGS.

I may have already posted this - sorry.

 

I have an 1894 in PCGS 64 - but I don't have an image of it;
recently, I did buy a nice 1894 Proof 64 on eBay...


LOL - one of these days, I'll get the hang of adding attachments
to this Webb Site... I am adding images backwards... Oh well...

 

Although I'm still quite stunned at this one, I purchased 11 coin books at an auction a couple of weeks ago for a total of $10. The face value of the coins in the books was worth over $25. Quite to my surprise, the collection included a partial book of V-nickels. Further to my surprise, it included an 1886. I'm far from an expert on V-nickels and was wondering if it could be a fake. It has a darker color to it than my other V-nickels and the darker color is homogeneous across the entire coin surface. Other than a small nick at 10:00 on the obverse, the coin is in rather good condition (VG-8?). Has anyone seen this kind of toning on a V-nickel?

 

seen that kind of coloring and a number of ground dug specimen all the time. As long as it is a key coin with no major corrosion no one is going to throw a major fit over the coloring. A closeup pic would be nice though.

 

I'd say you did very well for your self.

As to the toning on the 1886 - I also have seen that
sort of coloration; I really don't know what caused it though.

 

thought i'd add another

 

I love the series, as a matter of fact, I plan to try to find one (any date) certified as MS-65 and a proof (any date) in atleast PR-64 in the 2011 season of collecting.
