So, purchased my first "V" nickel today from ebay. 1905 P I believe. Most V nickels seem to be fairly priced. I'm not really looking for anything high grade, but I do have an album by Whitman I am considering working on. Are there any stoppers or anything ridiculously expensive for this series? |

Depends on the grade, but if you're going for G-F specimens, only the '12-S will set you back $150 or so.

The 1913 will set you back a few million $s.  Most people would consider the set complete without this coin. I think the Barber dime (1894-S) set and this set are among the most difficult sets because of these famous rarities. That's where coin collecting crosses over to insanity. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Aren't there only like 5 or 6 known 1913 V nickels in existence? |

And half of those are in museums.

The 1885 and 1886 are the most expensive being about $250 each (in G4), the 1912S is about $150 in G4+. This is my set.    |

If you don't want to do the set, you can pick up Mint State Coins and do a type set. No Cents  Cents  Proof  |

Of course, should have noted the '85 and '86.  |

And it might earn you a jail term as well! Why so? The 1913 nickels are legal to own. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves. |

hfjacinto - that's a lovely set!  Humanist1287 - you never know, you might get one in circulation! I spent one in a transit ticket machine in Orlando (a cull 1892 with an attempted piercing) in December 2021 - I wonder what's happened to it? |
