Images of my newer V Nickels : FUN - January, 2017 to today:

MFH

Over the past few months, I have added to my Liberty Head "V" Nickel Collection. These images are from
a photographer I have used in the past - as my YN photographer has recently graduated College in Pre-Med
and is about to get into Med School in Miami. A year ago, he imaged approx. 150 coins - and is almost done
getting them on a CD ....

Here are John Baumgart's images - recently received on a CD.

Picked this up from Rich Uhrich at the FUN Show in Ft Lauderdale - January - 2017

An eBay purchase in January, 2017

Another eBay purchase - I had no idea just how hard it was to find a N/C in Cameo:

I don't collect Shield Nickels - but thought this was a great carry-over with the Pattern J-1690 V Nickel:

I stopped by Gary Adkins' table at FUN and here is one of about a half dozen I bought from him:

Last year Summer FUN, I got this from Heritage....

Another Gary Adkins - January, 2017 FUN purchase:

As I also collect MS and AU 58's along with Proofs, I picked this up on the BST at PCGS in December, 2016

Another Gary Adkins purchase at FUN this past January

I have a few 1889 Nickels - as its my Grandfather's Birth Year - this one came from a dealer at FUN
called NumisAddicts - I also picked up a few coins from him as well....

Yet another 1889 - ex: HA - FUN auction

As I mentioned - I also collect AU 58's.... Can't locate a PCGS - so - this will have to do for now [ it completed my set
of AU 58's ]

eBay purchase from last June - 2016:

Searched for many years for an AU 58 of this date - found it on Ben Todd's web site

I landed this one in 2011 - but never had it imaged : Ex: Stacks Bowers

Spotted this Burst of Color - and although I had a higher graded one, I knew this belonged in my collection:

An eBay purchase last July ....

Here's an AU 58 which is an upgrade for my AU 55 - for the life of me - where are the decent strikes for 1893 ??

Well, at least this Proof makes up for the lousy AU 58....

This is the prettiest 1894 in MS I have ever seen.... Long Beach - Heritage - 09/16

Now, the Proof Version: Heritage auction in 02/2017

Just to remind you, these images are for newps - I don't want to fill in with older coins whose images
have been shown off before... so - skipping a few dates ... and my newest NEWP...HA - 03/2017

Bought this MS version at January FUN, 2017 - which came out of a friend's collection [ he has a 66+ now]

January, 2017 FUN auction....

Another HA - auction find - January 2017

eBay - 03/2017 - decent coin - just not CAC:

Heritage auction - 09/2016 - although I have another 1899 in MS 64 - it doesn't look like this one !!

Another 1899 for the AU set.... cleft lip version ?

Ok, the last one for the 19thC.....

I'll finish up for 1900 to 1912 later on.... " The two Dobermans are now anxious to go to the dog park ! "

EDIT:

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

Okay - off to the 20th Century

Splendid run of nickels, Mike - toners, cameos, patterns, tough dates - very impressive!
Thanks for sharing with us.

Cameonut

Nice set of coins! I especially love the '94 and '99 toners.

I only have one of these, I'll have to dig it out and see if I can get a decent photo.

grip

Don't get much better than that...gorgeous run.

bolivarshagnasty

Nice coins and photos Mike. Looks like a great start.

No Headlights

Great looking group Mike. Looking forward to seeing the others

Great stuff, Mike! Maybe the explains the apparent scarcity of high end proof V nickels that I have noticed, LOL.

ldhair

Really nice. The 1894 MS-63 is my favorite.

JeffMTampa

Great looking coins, Mike. You must be a proud Papa.

cameonut2011

Nice set and I especially like the two rainbow toned examples.

Very nice V Nickels Mike!

Very nice!

Eagleguy

Great set and thanks for sharing. I've been thinking about starting a set myself and threads like this help educate me.

Where is the "I'm jealous" icon.

Thanks, Rick. The two I have now are Rescue dogs - one is from the mountains of Wyoming who was
adopted by a gentleman who had a few thousand acres out there - his wife had three dogs - and he wanted his own dog. He found "Ginja" in the Rescue Assoc. out there - came back from WY with her,
and shortly there after, he passed from a stroke. He also had a home in Boca Raton - where I drove over
to - and brought my male, "Max", a Black and Tan, so they'd become acquainted with each other.

Max is another rescue - but I can trace every moment of his life - and I even have his Pedigree papers
from the AKC. He's the product of a divorce, then subsequently, one of his new owners passed because of a stroke.

My last two Dobes before Max and Ginja - were from Breeders - and got then at 3 months of age.
All have had different personalities - but all four have been as sweet as can be. If anyone has never had the opportunity to become acquainted with the breed, I strongly suggest you do. Don't listen to those
old Harpies B*itch and Moan about they eat kids... they are sweet dogs, easily trained - and make a
perfect family pet - and also a wonderful guard dog.

All my images are on my iPhone - nothing on the lap top.

Wow, Mike--no one will ever accuse you of not having many nice coins.

Those are special! You must have some collection!

1904 in MS63 is goregeous.

@MFH... and yes, they are SUPER around children.....Had a young couple over to my house one Saturday, and they had a two year old.... He was wandering around, both dogs in the house. A loud came on the front door... the older one jumped up and stood at the door and the younger (by then 3 years old) went and stood in front of the toddler. The guests were amazed, asked how I trained them to do that.... I said I never did...it was instinctive for them. Cheers, RickO

That's a super 63. Talk about under-graded. The 1910 PF65 with "DCAM-like" surfaces (and not a CAM) is impressive too.

BarberFanatic

Mike, I notice you didn't post a photo of your 1913.

oih82w8

Very attractive set of V Nickels. That is a very nice 1884 5C RPD FS-301. I had one of those...briefly.

Because, Cary you borrowed it.
I have images of almost every 1913....

These images are my NEWPS .... I have not included images of
my oldies but goodies.... LOL

Rick.... I was brought up with German Shepherd Dogs - 2 at a time, actually. When I graduated from college and bought my first home, one of my cousins was a Doberman breeder - and I became enamored with the breed. He didn't have a puppy available when I was looking - but I bought a puppy
from another breeder - who had a top flight female - and was stunning. She was brought up around kids - actually, { friend's kids } and she was super with them, too.

If I had acreage like I did on Cape Cod - I'd have more than the two I own now.

I bought that at Ray Hinkleman's at FUN this past January.
Although I had a pretty decent MS 64, this 63 has better eye
appeal.
