The Start Of My Liberty "V" Nickel Collection

Looking into what coin I want to purchase next. I am looking at either the 1884, 1887 or 1883. The majority of the coins from 1883-1899, in VG/XF, with the exception of the no cents 1883, are a bit more costly than the coins from 1890 and later.

I ordered an 1899 in G/VG condition recently. They are using stock photos, but eh, for 5 bucks... I'll take a risk.

This is the 1887 I've been looking at on ebay, for 34 bucks.




Here is the 1884 I've been eying up, but this one cost a little more. Around 38 dollars.




Any thoughts from anyone?

There is another 1884 from another seller I enjoy using quite a bit on ebay for around 30 bucks, but it doesn't look as nice.



The first one definitely looks better IMO.

Yeah... I think I will!

pretty nice Humanist! You are making advancements on many fronts now

I've recently decided to add some labels to the album. It's not done, though, as I haven't yet figured out a way to figured out a way to add labels to the small spaces under certain spots.

For the most part, I decided to model it around Dansco's album. However, I've opted to use the last two spots for what I'd call "reverse 1 and reverse 2." Basically, reverse 1 being no cents and reverse 2 being with cents.

The labels are just printed on my PC and taped in place. I've debated about whether I even need/want to use labels, but it kind of makes it feel more "complete" as an album.

Some duplicates


All I got for now!

Thanks, seamonkey.

Well, it's not necessarily that. I taped all the labels. It's more so the time that it takes to trim the tape smaller for those spots.

I thought maybe I could find some kind of specialized tape somewhere, but just haven't looked into anything yet. Haven't given it too much thought.

Looking good!

It's still better than mine Coming along nicely

Nice V nickel.
