I watched it by accident when it aired. Interesting story, but they kept showing a 1912 nickel much of the time. They also stated at one point that Philadelphia solely minted the Liberty nickels. Still, I didn't know of the coin museum in COS, so I now have another stop on my Bucket List. PG

The show actually had more information on the sales of the coin, but, the clip in the link cut that part out. What was new to me, from the video, was how the (5) nickels were made. I had read before that there were dies for the 1913 nickel that were illegally used by the crook, but, now it seems the crook altered a 1912 die. I'm surprised the 1913 nickels have any value at all after learning of this.

Now I'm suspicious about that roll of 1913 Liberty Head Nickels I bought. Maybe not real?
