Finished my 5th set of MS66 War Nickels. I have been working on these for a couple of years. Thought I would share.  |

Very nice! I'm thinking about maybe starting one of these myself. How much did this set end up costing total?

Very nice indeed. Curious if you have considered pursuing the full-step version of these ... after 5 full sets you certainly have reason why you chose not to. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

very nice set, I'm a big fan of nickels. I was wondering the same as nickel searcher, after 5 sets have you thought about trying for a full steps set?

As soon as I finish my 20th century set I think I might try and get a War Nickel set. |

Great set! I also have an MS66 basic 11 coin set but have added an MS64 1943/2 and PF67 1942-P. I assembled the set as a tribute to my father who fought in WWII.

Thanks folks. I to got interested in War Nickels because of my dad. He landed in France a few days after D-Day and spent 28 months walking around France, Germany and Belgium carrying a 60 pound mortar. he got wounded but survived and now lives with my wife and I. (pic below is a tribute to him and my mom, previously posted). I got three or four of the coins in ten coin lots for $230-240 each. the rest were picked up individually on the bay and elsewhere. I would have to go back and search my records for costs but most were between $26-32. All were fairly easy except the 44 and 45P. The idea of a FS set would be fun, but they get a little costly. I have five more War Nickel sets in various states of completion (most needing the 44 and 45P), so I may finish those to sale and finance the FS set although I have never been able to sell a coin. Anyway, thanks for looking and your comments.  |

I love the shadow box presentation. I also made one for my father, who was one of the original members of Merrill's Marauders.

That shadow box is amazing! I'm truly moved by the overall presentation and the incorporation of the things you cherish being commemorated in such a great fashion. Truly awesome!
