Time to crack out that nickel!
LOVE the history of it all! CONGRATS TDN on being able to reunite your piece with the case. VERY COOL indeed!
We meet again. You loving leather darling:)
Are you “proactively entertaining offers” as it says ?
Also, check out this one:

I just think that price is crazy, but if we don't have crazy in the world then we have nothing to judge by what normal should be.
Although very cool item. Any idea how much time the nickels spent in the there?
Hang it someplace in your home !👍
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Amazing piece of numismatic history, congrats on acquiring it.
Just wondering if there is a picture somewhere with all 5 nickels inside the album. That would be a great photo if it exists.
Congrats on obtaining it.
Later, Paul.
Great display item! And considering that the cost of the wallet is probably no more than two or three weeks' interest on the cost of the coin, it seems like a good purchase!

Congrats on the addition TDN! It's great to reunite these.
The holder in the eBay link is nice too.
Sweet! And very cool icing on the cake! Congratulations....
In this case...Buy the holder.....Add the coins later!
You could have had 2 in there, by now. Or am I mistaken ?

Or not at all...
I've noticed that some dealers have a nose for making money and they exist at every level of the coin market. JA is one of those at the expensive end.
Nice piece of numismatic history...Congratulations...Cheers, RickO
Ever see this lil thang?
Not in any way as cool as yours, but I always kept it just cuz it's ....neat.
Got it in the shop full of Indian Quarter Eagles and a couple 5 Libs.
Buy the holder........................'er, aaah, oh my.

Thoughtful friend:)
Sorry, seems a bit much for an empty coin holder. To each their own, I guess.
I agree about it being too much. I could have bought it out of Newman too. I do not see the value.
Did you own one of the nickels at that time?
Yes, I was a partner in one.
To me the only value of that case was having 2 or more 5C. That will not happen.
I heard some BS someone wanted it if he did noto buy it, had TDN asked me, I'd have passed. Its not even like a copper frame for a PP set in my opinion.
I agree about the price. Too bad it was not one of the long rectangular black cardboard cases with 5 holes lined with blue velvet. That has too many holes for my liking. Nevertheless, I guess it is an important part of the story.
Dude - if one is stupid enough to pay almost $5M for a nickel, what’s another $13k to add to the story?
Someone needs to photoshop all of the coins into that holder.
Nice purchase TDN...certainly an interesting piece of exonumia.
Totally agree with adding to the story. I'll buy things around what I have to complete the story. Not at the same level, but I just spent hundreds on a wooden box to go with some pieces of mine.
I saw this in the Newman sale and I'm glad it's been reunited with one of the coins it once held.
So are there are really 8 nickels and not just 5 ?
I thought there were two or three pattern Buffalo nickels or some such as well. If true, anyone know what happened to those?

I thought about buying it in the Newman sale but it went for more than I wanted to pay. I think it is a cool item. If I was lucky enough to own one of the nickels I would definitely want the holder. Items like this get lost over time I think it's amazing it still exists. Congrats on the purchase.
So what do you grade the case, AU-58? Seriously though, I’m also interested if all of the nickels that used to reside in the case still exist today?
I'll tell your partner you called him stupid (the co owner of the 5C)....
At the least Bruce, you likely saved the under bidder from a divorce.
My mentor at Coin World's Collectors Clearinghouse, Ed Fleischmann, was a collector who came from the Milwaukee area. He used to tell how McDermott would occasionally come to coin club meetings and pass his 1913 nickel around the room for show and tell, presumably in this holder. At the end of the meeting he would just stick it back in his pocket and walk out.
The letter is interesting, but where it says "in June of this year," it should have mentioned what year.

The year of the letter is presumably the same as the notary’s stamp since you have to sign it in his, in this case, presence.
2019?
Wow, I always thought the notary had to have a signing date so I didn't take a look. Interesting, 2019 is the expiration date.
