Liberty Nickel Appreciation Thread

Just for something different. Yeah, been taking pics this morning.

Your coin looks like it has nice luster, with lots of die breaks on both obverse and reverse.

 

Here's an 1889 proof that has a really attractive phlegmy toning to it that, in-hand, is a mixture of pink and lime green waves going over the coin's surfaces.

[Hoot]

I had three nice Lib nickes early this year - great for color, but not necessesarily the best strikes. Anyhow, I liked them very much but sold them. Here they are:

 

 

I have an 1883 no motto now that I bought raw at a shop in Salt Lake. I spent $26 on it, and it's beautifully toned, exquisite surfaces, and a fantastic strike. It'll grade 65 any day, perhaps better.

That 1912 is gorgeous!!

[EZ_E]

Question?

 

How tough to find are the 1883 No Cents in cameo proof?

 

Ideas on their populations?

 

Thanks!

[Oldtrader3]

Nice coins!! I tried to post one but the scan did not do it justice.

Well, for PCGS (all grades): 112 CAM 6 DCAM

For NGC (all grades): 110 CAM 5 UCAM

 

I'm sure there are some crossovers accounted for here.

[EZ_E]

Well, it looks like cameo is doable!

 

Thanks for the info, nwcs!

studying up on the term phlegmy as part of my penitential desire to avoid punishment by Tomb, I was overjoyed and totally p.o.'d by this post. Finally a liberty nickel thread!!! OK, 2005, but it needs to be revived. Maybe this was destined by Providence??? I'm p.o'd at how quickly it ended.

 

By the way, I'm still at my earliest of attempts at understanding phlegmy. Meanwhile, I'll post my one and only 'certified' Liberty Nickel, and hopefully revive this thread....and hopefully it won't be considered phlegmy (I'm sorry Tom, but that is SO gross).

[MikeInFL]

Great coins everyone. Here are three from my collection:

 

 

 

 

One of my favorite coins, and only second to the buffalo as my favorite 5 cent type...Mike

 

p.s. Hoot, if that '83 is not well struck, I'd like to see one better.

[TomB]

This is actually the same coin that I posted in 2005, but I now have a very good image of it.

[TavernTreasures-migration]

The date on the "1912" looks doubled.

Great looking Liberty Nickel, I also like the picture of it.

[MrSpud-migration]

Nice Liberty nickels!!!

 

Here's one that me and MrsSpud won in an arcade at Myrtle Beach last summer

[TomB]

Does Mrs. Spud win coins everywhere you go?

[MrSpud-migration]

No, some places she has to buy them. I notice that most dealers give her a better deal than they give me though

[mgoodm3]

The images are a little too sharp (comes from my old JPG days) Used to own this one.

 

[James_OldeTowne]

Interesting that this thread popped back up this morning. Last night, I sent off my #2 set for auction!!

 

Here's the link to my #1 Liberty Nickel set .

[Prethen]

This was an impulse buy. I paid too much for it. Bought it as a F15 from one of the more respectable national dealers.

Huh .. Your No Cents looks kinda like my No Cents ... Am I making sense or is it the irrefutable bunch of NON-Cents ..

[Dcoin]

There no sweeter coin than a DCAM Liberty nickel. Something about the way the hair stands out when its frosted.

Sweet Lib, 123cents.

 

I had about 20 Nickels and 10 Quarters laying loose in a breif case. Long story. Anyway here are three of the best. The best has rim nicks, although I love looking at the detail. All the rest of the nickels are worn, and all of the quarters are worn.

 

[Houston Investor]

nice coins - thanks for sharing them with us

[BobaFett72-migration]

i love liberty nickels.

very under appreciated coins.

[AzLarry]

The only Liberty Nickels that I own are the two different varieties in my type set.

 

Variety 1 NGC MS65 1883 Without Cents

 

 

Variety 2 NGC PR65 1909 With Cents

 

 

Some very nice looking nickels in this post.

About 4 decades ago as a kid I plucked this one along with a pretty long date run out of a dealers "junk box". I didn't even know it was an "s" until about a year ago when looking at my old stuff with my daughter.
