piercethegrimes Valued Member United States 260 Posts	Posted 08/17/2015 4:56 pm I was asked to go through a family member's coin collection and came across a little box with this nickel inside. Thought I would share some photos. I did a little research on these sort of nickels and one source deemed this guy as "the streak" because of the lack of a collar on the neck. There is another similar face called "nature boy" which they think was done by the same artist. Is anyone familiar with value associated with these? Thanks http://www.hobonickels.org/QuickID/the_streak.html Report this Post to the Staff
