Congrats on the addition TDN! It's great to reunite these.
The holder in the eBay link is nice too.
My mentor at Coin World's Collectors Clearinghouse, Ed Fleischmann, was a collector who came from the Milwaukee area. He used to tell how McDermott would occasionally come to coin club meetings and pass his 1913 nickel around the room for show and tell, presumably in this holder. At the end of the meeting he would just stick it back in his pocket and walk out.
The letter is interesting, but where it says "in June of this year," it should have mentioned what year.
TD
The year of the letter is presumably the same as the notary’s stamp since you have to sign it in his, in this case, presence.
2019?
Wow, I always thought the notary had to have a signing date so I didn't take a look. Interesting, 2019 is the expiration date.
My assistant is a Notary, I showed her the letter, she said the Notary is supposed to put the date the notary signed the notarization. Looks like a mistake on the part of the notary.

Congratulation and what a reunion! It's your prerogative to spend it anyway you wished

I like it and the price seems cheap. At least what it sold for a year ago.

As opposed to the Unoriginal 1913 Liberty Nickels?
Such brilliant writers at Heritage...

I'm truely inspired ! My Brother used to do a lot of Leather Work and I'm sure he can make me a Leather Holder just like that one.
My personal hoard of 5 - '13 Liberties will look very impressive in there. Might even acquire an accurate patina over time.
