matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 10/17/2012 5:38 pm A public thanks to Moe: This topic has given we poor collectors of "V" nickels the chance to show off our stuff. And Paleo, feel free to steal my thunder any time. We "V" people have a wicked sense of humor - we have to, as we are the Rodney Dangerfields of coin collectors. We don't get no respect!

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 10/17/2012 6:21 pm Hey, hey my, my! In 1883 coins totally FLY! But it's time to replace the Shields So wave them bye, bye! A great new design; the V now means five, An MS Lib nickel makes me feel so alive! Designed by Barber first without "Cents", People started cheating getting dollars for pence! "Unacceptable" and "Insane", screamed the people that be "Barber, you crazy, you crazy?" they said! Change that design right now, put some *"Cents"*on that V, Get No Cents nonsense outta your head!! With lots of shiny coins the Mint started out fair then, "Ooops, way too many!" and '85 & '86 got pretty rare. Then in 1912, came V's from San Fran, The lovely new Mint on the coast Another key coin you just gotta have A beautiful lovely on which you can boast! For 30 great years the coins Came from the Mint. Shiny and beautiful Around this nation they went. Millions of nickels and all of them great What a wondrous design!! Charles Barbers' best! First rate! Plenty of commerce passed under these V's lots of people used 'em for milk, oats and peas! Most are worn now and they look pretty mean There are TONS of mere smooth ones; just a few are pristine. But many of our CCF folks seem to have a V nickel gem, my eyes are astounded by the amazing array of all them! I want to collect all the Vs; And all in AU. This Forum totally inspires me I swear this to be true!! But right now my Vs Are all a real mess. I should start all anew Maybe complete all in MS?

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 10/18/2012 07:40 am 1898 The second of three "Vs" which I acquired last month. I was allowed to borrow a dealer's personal collection overnight. Cash plus trade of old example. Nice fellow Brad is. Reminds me of Penn from Penn and Teller. Ponytail and all.

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 10/18/2012 5:36 pm Hey HEY, cipster! In God's eyes, all "V" nickels are His children. There is room here, thanks to Moe, for each and every one of them. Post away, everybody, and be comforted by the fact that we love these coins both great and ...gory! Yours, cipser, are not gory at all! Edited by matthewvincent 10/18/2012 5:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
