 I'm sorry, I voted "nay". I've have tried honestly to Collect nickel dollars, and at one point I actually did. I seemed to have lost the attraction to nickel dollars since they appeared soo bland, smaller and less exciting (never toned as nice) as their silver counterparts. (pre-1968) Glenn  |

I voted yay but I wouldn't pay more than FV to collect.

 with pimpim. The 2013 Charlton has a section at the back dedicated to nickel dollar varieties, so had a bit of fun this weekend  |

For the regular, circulation ones I agree. I'll go higher for the varieties though. I'm having a lot of fun with that. Getting all the 1974 DYs has been an ongoing project for quite a while now. Still looking for VCR # 1, 7, 12, 13, & 14! (Sorry, haven't converted to the new Charlton #s yet).

Just remember that there are some varieties that aren't listed in Charlton's 67th. So be sure to eyeball the whole coin (eg. Short Water Lines at the stern 1975, 1976) and find others. I didn't know about Flat Field Doubling until I started to collect the Nickel Dollars.

I like the nickel dollar because most people pass them by. I just picked up the 1972 ICCS MS 65 quite scarce. just looking for the double yokes now, but I feel they are over priced as there are so many different ones.  |

Good snag on the 1972. I saw it but was too late to grab it!! While there are no varieties for that year, I was thinking it could be an upgrade for my registry set - tough year for MS-65.

Obviously, I voted yes. Very low mintages, large coin, last of the voyageur reverse, abundant varieties and grade rarities... I think this is a sleeper series - the comments made earlier by glenzy1 echo those made years ago about Elizabeth II silver dollars. Look how popular ' Ike dollars' have become in recent years with US collectors...

True That. I feel it' a good series also. Too bad I dumped my Ike's last year.

pginrh is right, I am finding new varieties almost every month. This month, I found a 1974 VCR #6 dollar, with a die crack linking all the reverse beads (like the 1973 variety seen in the new Charlton).

I am aware of the die cracks from 1973-1975 on the nickel dollars, both obverse and reverse sides - but what I was eluding to in my earlier post, it is the first time I have see one on a VCR #6 dies variety, on the reverse beads.
