I wasn’t assuming you knew. But with all of the reading and researching you seem to do and considering that the coins have been widely discussed for decades, I would have guessed you knew the answer to your question.
While some things known about certain coins haven't changed for decades, for certain other coins like the 1913 Liberty Nickel being discussed, new information is being discovered recently, with the information on the dies being published just last year. Given this new discovery and activity, I'm very curious if even more information has been discovered since that time.
I’m waiting for the discovery of a gold 1913 Liberty Head Nickel.
Maybe the individual who struck the gold 1913 Buffalo Nickel that I sold for $400k, struck a gold 1913 Liberty Head nickel..
It would certainly be a seven figure coin!

Just a WAG, but maybe the investigation only considered the face value of the items in question, not their potential value as errors.
Would they be that naive, though? They did the whole waffling thing to keep errors out of our hands because they knew the value in the collector market.
