Do you think the Pittman 1913 Nickel should be in the same PCGS display at FUN as Eliasberg's 1913 N

Here is Eliasberg's 1913 ultra rare Liberty Head Nickel in PCGS MS-66. Also shown is Pittman's common 1913 Buffalo Nickel T1 in PCGS MS-64. Pittman did not like to spend a lot of money which is readily apparent here!

When Jay Parrino owned the 1913 nickel, he agreed to put a few dateless buffalo nickels next to the 1913 Liberty nickel in his 1999 FUN show display. Cameo2 of ebay coin chat room gave Jay Parrino the dateless buffalo nickels to put in the display. Jay thought it was all in good taste and even talked to the young kids as they all wanted to know about the dateless buffalo nickels next to the 1913 Liberty head nickel.

I put in a phone call to Ed Lee how he felt seeing the Pittman 1913 buffalo nickel next to his Eliasberg 1913 liberty head nickel. I hope he enjoys the potential of the humor as much as I would.

Sure why not, my experiance with the Eliasberg 1913 V-Nickel was at the Long Beach Show in May of 2001, the show seemed very slow
and most activity was between tabled dealers, but the Eliasberg 1913 Liberty Proof 66, the Finest of the five was on Display, well needless to say, I spent about half an hour looking at it all by myself,
in contrast there was a block long line for the 1933 Double Eagle and you were herded threw like cattle to view it and you were lucky if you did get a glimpes of it, it also had 3 armed security gaurds on the 75 sq. ft. platform that sits that same tall skinny display case that housed both Ultra Rarities. but what I'm saying is that the Eliasberg Liberty Head 1913 is'nt a snob Nickel, its a nickel's nickel, because, I waved around in front of the 1913 some of my nice 1964D Jefferson's and thought to myself the most common of all nickels next to the rarest nickel and one of the top five US Coin rarities, any ways that 1913 is magic because once PCGS Slabed those 3 64D's, two of them on Teletrade realized $4050.00 total for the two, they were both MS65FS, and the other made MS66FS and well youd have to ask Frank how much. So is that a mere coincedence or did that Eliasberg 1913 V lend three pocket change common Fellow Nickels some ????, I think so.
