<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bqcoins, post: 138765, member: 5036&quot;]No, 1912 was the last year of regualr production of Liberty nickels.&nbsp; The 5 1913 dated ones were produced in secret after the mint director at the time told the workers not to use the dies and instead wait for the completed buffalo nickel dies to produce five cent pieces.&nbsp; A mint worker produced them and snuck them out most likely&nbsp; a mint worker by the name of Samuel W. Brown.&nbsp; After he retired from the mint he put out an ad in the papers offering $500 for any examples of a 1913 nickel.&nbsp; At the ANA convention of 1919 he showed up and displayed the five known examples.&nbsp; One now resides in the smithsonian collection, one in the ANA collection.&nbsp; Only three are available on the open market and it will cost you probably in excess of $3,000,000 to even have a chance at one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
