I didn't know I would want my magnifier on this trip, but I would have used it on several photos so far. Report this Post to the Staff

As I recall, the sign next to this one said that 3 are in museums and 2 are in private collections, so assembling them would have been an accomplishment. Report this Post to the Staff

Newman acquired all five 1913 Liberty nickels because they were being offered as a group by their previous owner Col. Edward Green. He kept the finest specimen and sold the other four for a few hundred dollars each. He then sold the fifth and final one in 1948. Today they're worth millions of dollars apiece.
