   I purchased this uncertified key date 1885 Liberty nickel at a Bowers & Merena auction in 1999, where it was graded XF40.  It has been housed in a Whitman bookshelf Liberty nickel album stored in a safe deposit box since that time, and I only recently had a chance to photograph it.111213881_1885nickelobv..thumb.jpg.1b925524fb24c29abaf5f4872270dffd.jpg493531726_1885nickelrev..thumb.jpg.63255af6d6208058fc6165c19b479fd9.jpg

 

Very nice pieces. Thanks for posting them. What prompted you to dig them out after all of these years?

🐓 :  Pick and choose.

Q.A.: How so?

🐓:  Provision 2 of the rules as promulgated by @Lem E is:  "Made from a nickel alloy."

Q.A.:  So why do you suppose he allowed it?

🐓:  Two reasons readily come to mind:  1. The novelty of a "nickel" featuring a prominent member's name on it, on one side...

Q.A.:  And 2?

🐓: The prominent nose of the Indian on the other.  doh!
