not sure if I'm willing to go along with collecting these, I'm mainly collecting silver and I just pick up the occasional out of ordinary coin if I see it, I would like to get one in better condition just for comparison reasons though

The Nickelodeon
> In 1890, Louis Glass and William S. Arnold invented the nickel-in-the-slot
> phonograph. Just think about how many "V" nickels found their way into
> that slot to delight the ears of the kids of the day!
(from an article that I am writing for our Journal)
When the first lines of the New York City Subway opened, the fair was a nickel. Circa 1907.
A nickel would buy a first class stamp and leave enough for a newspaper.
A nickel had REAL purchasing power!

I like V nickels too. I like to buy them in bulk. One day I am going in and buy the local dealer's entire bin. Some of these I sell of course but I pick out the rainbow colored ones for myself. If you like Barber coins but don't want to worry about the volatile silver market, V nickels may be the series for you. The value is pretty constant where many lower grade Barber's have the tendency to turn into bullion when the value of silver is higher. |

I only have a few of the V nickels. I do love them. I love just having a few of each type of coin. Not many of mine are in the greatest of shape, but I'm workig up a very ugly interpretation of a 7070. The V is a good building block coin though. Good find. |

After looking at this thread I decided to go through all my V nickels and was going through the cull coins and found this one below. Guess that mess, what is the year? 1891?  |
