Do you have one?!?!?!?!?  If so, one word: priceless. ~5 known, but in my RedBook it says $3 million for one. Edited by wd1040

There are only 5, it's absolutely certain that there are only 5, and the locations of those 5 are known throughout the numismatic community. In fact, at one point last year they were all in the same room.

Does anyone remember the Hawaii Five O episode where a 1913 V nickel was swapped for a fake at a coin show and the thief dropped the real one in a newspaper vending box as he was being chased ? I bet that really dropped the value of it ! |

ShadowCreator, I have one - bought on e-bay. But it cost me more than $3. Now, if you offer me - say $5 it's a deal  |

 So if you have a 1913 Liberty, it's a certainty that date was added later. |

Well Merty,
First off welcome to the forum.
Second it you have one and have no idea what it's worth then it is worth the metal it's made of.
Why do I say this? Well reading the other posts would explain it. FIVE KNOWN PERIOD. Unless you have one of those it's basically worthless.
Now depending on condition a 1912 is worth a buck or so. MANY 1913s are actually 1912s. (Other than the five real ones)

Actually a tremendous number of the 1913's are 1910's. I knew the guy in Louisville who used to help them reach thir higher potential.

Ahh Geez, Liberty Heads. Some of you won't believe this. When I was a pup Libs weren't too hard to find in change. Most were dinged up and pretty worn but I recall readable dates. Same goes for IHCs.... not too common but certainly not rare.
Man I feel old.

as for the 1913 nickel there are only five known--but if a lot of people recall there was a single gold piece known for many years--then poof! now there are ten? whats to say someone didn't keep one in there pocket?
