Ahh the good old Liberty "V" nickel. I love them and often speculate on their value or lack thereof. I have somewhere around 700-800 of them. It's very easy to get the common ones well below retail prices ( Red Book) in the lower grades. The higher grades are the exact opposite. Thus the "V" nickel in lower grades remains a dog and the higher grades are hot. Anything in the VF-AU range is a great investment. The lower grades continue to under-perform. I always keep an eye out for any full liberty pieces, IMOH they are going to take off in value eventually. But if I find a lower grade lot for less than 60 cents apiece I will jump on it. Someday..... Just maybe someday they will start to perform. Until then I just keep added to my collection on this often overlooked coins.
