Here is my Judd-1715 struck in Copper in the grade of PCGS-PR66BN. Roughly a handful or so struck by the Mint in 1883.
Any other High R-7 or R-8 patterns or other coins that have mintages around the same as a 1913 Liberty Nickel but sell for less than 1% of the value? Post them here if you own them!

<< <i>There are several California fractional gold coins from period 1 and 2 where there are less or less known and sell for under $7500. At one point, there was a calfrac collector that owned 5 bg-799S and there are only 5 known. So you can start a collection of calfracs and acquire them for typically a lot less than US federal coins but seem to be available without the huge price tag! >>
That sounds like allot of old touring cars that only 5 built with 1 or 2 known to still exist,
BUT when you realize how many cars have 1-5 left, its not that special.

The Liberty nickel patterns of 1881-1883 are very interesting and with over 40 different designs they might seem common but over half are R7's or higher according to the latest Judd book. The J-1715 that wondercoin posted is a great example of a very rare coin.

Agree. Look at the prices paid for 1916 Standing Liberty Quarters and there were over 50,000 minted.
Patterns and badges may be rare but they are too unique. Sometimes coins get a big price because they
are the rarest in a set like the 1911D Quarter Eagle. The 1905 Double Eagle has a lower mintage but nobody
cares.

The 1913 Liberty nickel is not a business strike so I am not following this logic. Love the OP nickel and always love seeing Boiler's coins, by the way.

Coins with 5 or less or known in all grades that sell for $30,000 or less? That's a pretty short list, and probably non-existant for regular issue US coins.

Anyone else have a coin to show. I'll post another colorful pattern Liberty nickel here momentarily.

Here is a finest known red Brown 1882 Liberty nickel struck in copper (J-1691). Another neat copper Liberty Nickel, but this one has a dozen or a dozen and a half pieces known. Still at a small fraction of 1% of the value of the 1913, it is a nice Liberty nickel.

<< <i>The 1913 Lib nickel is the only "V" nickel with a date of 1913 on it. There a lot of V nickels with the date 1883....business strikes, proofs, and patterns.

There's only one Liberty nickel design for 1881.
