Sell this wonderful 1894 Liberty Nickel on eBay? It actually looks a little darker in hand.

i'd toss it over the fence on a school playground

that 1894 nickel to could be the birth of a collector with a kool story
he found it on the playground

I would go one step further than LVT and toss over the fence into a sand box and get a really
young collector!

Or just spend it.

Leave it in the tray at your favorite Coinstar.

Maybe Teddy had it on him while he charged up San Juan Hill............Maybe

...put it in a gum-ball machine, if you can find one that takes nickels.

lasvegasteddy

it is amazing what some on ebay will sell when it comes to coins...great example here
so i ask
was this one with a high reserve or buy it now?
how much did seller think to list this at?

DennisH

Sell? No.
I'd give it to a kid who might get excited by it.

MGLICKER

Send it to NASA.....perhaps they can get it on the next Mars lander.

A number of years ago I helped a friend sell his dad's coin collection that was part of his estate. This is one that was held back along with a number of other lib nix in a Whitman folder. I'll probably take it to our next coin club meeting and give it to the first YN who correctly guesses what a 1894 lib nik is worth, the right answer being 5 cents.

gotcha
i bet you'll make some kids day too

I thought about putting it on eBay as more of a gag, but I'd rather not be forced to have to pay to have it returned.

Put it where a detector person plays around and wait for the scream.

I've actually had stuff like this and would lay it on the ground outside a business entrance or on a sidewalk and watch from a distance!
It's quite fun actually!

I routinely spend liberty nickels. Never had one recognized as I spent it. I like to think of the amazement someone will have dinging a 1905 coin in their change.

A gent came in yesterday with a handful of dirt finds (metal detector). Recommended he try ebay, but I wouldn't. They looked about the same.

Is that the rare spear-through-the-neck variety?
