Does the Liberty Nickel series have a pulse??

Just curious how they have been doing as a series over the last year or two(up or down)? Any big difference between the MS and Proof coins in the market place?

Flat line??
This series has potential. It always will.

Perhaps the title of the thread should be changed to "Does the Liberty Nickel series have a pulse?"

interesting title change?

Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
Certainly more interesting and attractive than just about anything minted after say 1948.
Do they have a pulse? Sure, there are some aficionados around. Supply no doubt exceeds demand for most
of them, but again, this can be said for a great many coins. Collect what you like, regardless if the madding crowd
is chasing it.

With the exception of two or three dates, it's a relatively affordable series.
In grades below FINE, they are not too attractive and desirable, but try putting together a nicely matched set of VF or XF, problem-free original coins. Not as easy as one might think.
Many dates in mint state are a real bargain in my opinion. In both MS and Proof grades, eye-appeal can be a problem, but that only adds to the fun and excitement when finding the perfect coin.
the sweet spot of availability and collectibility in the old nickels though, obviously, buffalos will always
be very popular as well.
They're a lot stronger than they were in 1995.

I've been reading "if they get hot" articles since about 1965. Anything's possible, though, I suppose.

To me the issue is to collect them if you like them because prices are down. Do not collect them if you do not like them regardless of their upside potential.
I have a collection in AU ( now certified ) that once belonged to my
Grand Father. The set was missing a few dates, mostly the Keys, and
over the last 20 years, I have finished the date run, bought a few MS
& PR examples.
Personally, I love the design, and I wish I had a complete set of Proofs.
How hot is the set these days, I really couldn't tell you - just a few friends
are actually collecting them as a complete series.
I think the OP knows of whom I speak.
