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.

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

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 · January 22, 2015 1:29AM

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

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.

asheland · January 22, 2015 4:06AM

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!

someone will love it forever at that point. just saying

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?
