Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1107 Posts	Posted 01/18/2026 6:20 pm Just wanted to share this 1868 Shield nickel I purchased recently. Details I think are awesome, especially for what I paid for it. The more and more I discover these old nickels, the more and more I love them. *Dansco 8100 Lincoln cents Liberty "V" nickels Jefferson nickels 1938-current Buffalo nickels Roosevelt Dimes Eisenhower/Anthony dollars** Edited by Humanist1287 01/18/2026 6:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10470 Posts	Posted 01/20/2026 12:17 am I always liked the design of those! Report this Post to the Staff
Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1107 Posts	Posted 01/20/2026 07:56 am Thanks, my friends. Marv65, I definitely quite like it. It's really hard to find these in good condition, especially for a good price. Crazy to believe that this coin is nearly 160 years old. *Dansco 8100 Lincoln cents Liberty "V" nickels Jefferson nickels 1938-current Buffalo nickels Roosevelt Dimes Eisenhower/Anthony dollars** Edited by Humanist1287 01/20/2026 07:59 am Report this Post to the Staff

Maine Member Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 01/20/2026 3:12 pm Nice add for your collection. I don't think I have an example in my collection for this series. (It has been a while for me with coin purchases). Report this Post to the Staff
Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1107 Posts	Posted 01/21/2026 08:05 am Thank you. You can find them on ebay for reasonable prices. That's where I purchased this one.

Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1107 Posts	Posted 02/04/2026 05:16 am Thanks, Ballyhoo! However, irritatingly enough, I still have not received this coin. ebay's tracking/shipping is absolutely atrocious sometimes. I think it's bugging me even more now due to the fact that I have a Shield nickel album *Dansco 8100 Lincoln cents Liberty "V" nickels Jefferson nickels 1938-current Buffalo nickels Roosevelt Dimes Eisenhower/Anthony dollars** Report this Post to the Staff
