<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 820537, member: 15309"]I have a hard time getting excited about a war nickel unless it is of the highest quality. Even gem white coins are so common for every date/mm that it is difficult to be impressed by one. However, a war nickel in MS67 with incredible luster and eye appeal is an entirely different story. As the current owner of the 2nd ranked war nickel set in the NGC registry I can promise you that finding war nickels of this quality is not easy.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/MySets_Listing.aspx?PeopleSetID=52816" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/MySets_Listing.aspx?PeopleSetID=52816" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://boards.collectors-society.com/signatures/signature.php/NGC/set/52816/sig.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>I am sure that most war nickel collectors love the die varieties.
