The Start Of My Liberty "V" Nickel Collection

Thanks, jbuck!

I ordered this from ebay today. Didn't think it looked too bad and still has some of the detail in Liberty. I'm guessing it would be G/VG.
The seller didn't use a stock photo though, so it's nice to actually expect the coin I'm seeing. This is their photo from the listing.




Not too bad for 5 bucks. The XF specimen runs around 20 bucks, which I will purchase in this grade sooner or later.
I can use this as hole fillter until then, and put it in the duplicate page later on

I gotta say, it's also nice to be able to kind of cherry pick the coins that you think are nice and what you wanna pay. Just takes a little work. Where I can get F-XF coins I will, but I will go G/VG as long as they look good and have decent detail. Some of the coins before 1900 are a bit pricey, so that will definitely take some cash and searching around from both ebay and coin shops. But, even with the key dates, I really don't think it isn't anything that's not doable. It will just take some time and patience!

Nice purchase!

nice additional additions you posted since I last posted here.

Thanks, dearborn.





Not anything too crazy, but I purchased a new empty binder today from ebay. It's just a blank Dansco binder that holds 2-4 pages. It was considerably cheaper than purchasing a new blank nickel album. Half the price!

My OCD gets the best of me sometimes, but I'm not really a fan of how large the Dansco coin stock binder is. It's designed to hold a ton of pages, which obviously, I don't need.

Yeah, I definitely don't need that many pages! I like the fact that you can use the first page for all your really nice coins, and use an additional page for coins that are duplicates from upgrading.
I honestly have no qualms about purchasing some lower grade Liberty nickels in lots for fun, as they can usually be had for cheap.

So I ordered the 1901 today, as well as these:
1889

1903 - A nice VF upgrade from the 1903 I already have


I am really curious to see how the 1889 looks, as the coins from 1883-1889 seem to cost more in grades above G/VG. This is the first one I've found so far on ebay that was pretty reasonably priced. I'm sure they are out there, though.

All I got for now! I will post more pictures when I receive said coins.

Thanks, EV

Excellent additions!
