<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 112580, member: 66&quot;]Actually if you went to a bank you would get 1912&#039;s or maybe buffalos.&nbsp; Even if you went to the mint you couldn&#039;t get 1913 Liberty head nickels.&nbsp; If you want those things try 1920, not 1913 and buy the whole set from Mr Brown.&nbsp; $500 is just about what he sold the whole set for.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course when you brought them back to today they wouldn&#039;t be worth all that much.&nbsp; A big part of the value of those coins are the stories behind them.&nbsp; The speculation over the past 90 years about how they were made, where they have been, all the hype by Max Mel that kept them in the limelight and made them a well known item in non-collector households around the world, the speculation over the missiing specimen etc.&nbsp; If you had bought them from Brown and then brought them back to today none of that would have occured, and they would probably just be curiosities today worth a few thousands or tens of thousands each.&nbsp; In fact without the history behind them you might even find yourself in conflict with the governement deciding to confiscate them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually the Confederate currency idea might be the better way to go.&nbsp; But you go back to say the 1880&#039;s and buy up Unc notes then and bring them back to today.&nbsp; Back then no one was really interested in Confederate currency and you could buy bunches of Unc notes for one to ten cents apiece.&nbsp; Even less in bulk.&nbsp; Then you could com back to today with over 50,000 Unc Confederate currency notes that couls sell from $40 to several hundred dollars or more apiece.&nbsp; A rwo to ten million dollar return on your $500 investment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
