Looks like the finest known 1913 nickel will be auctioned at the ANA's World's Fair of Money in August. This is the specimen previously owned by Eliasberg and is graded PCGS PF66. Edited by numismatic student

I am glad that it is the finest. I will not settle for second best!
But seriously since the convention is in Philadelphia, and I live in the east I am half tempted to go.

Meh! This is really just a fantasy coin that was produced illegally. It's no more than a token that serves to stroke the egos of fat-cat businessmen who want to be envied.
The only positive thing about this coin is that it has a story which has been turned into a legend.
At least Daniel Carr's fantasy coins are produced legally, and are attainable. I find them much more desirable.

You were there when it was made? Clearly they aren't illegal. Nor is it a token that people stroke their egos with. I honestly dislike when people just jump in to trash something and the people that collect them where it just seems to be jealously. I've never seen anyone question the former owners (who has passed on) passion for coins aside from people that just jump in to be negative. |

The coin was struck without mint authorization--to me that makes it illegal. The fact that only people with scads of money to throw around can afford to own one takes it out of the real numismatic community and makes it a plaything of the fabulously rich. I'm not jealous, and I'm not trying to be negative. Just being realistic. |

Since the government is not pursuing the matter (and it would be rather easy) like the 1933 double eagle, I would said that it is defacto legal.
I'm not going to work up a sweat over this.
