The Liberty Nickel is still in transit but don't have any reason to believe it will disappoint. Upgrades for the liberty nickel set are few and far between, since I was pretty patient in the initial purchases. Still, I felt this was a decent eye appeal upgrade (trading one 64 for another), and should make a great match for the existing pieces.

The buff nickel was one of two I crossed from NGC, the other being the 26-D 3 1/2 legger in my other post. The 1925 will become a permanent fixture in my set and ousts a 65. This one is super nice, and if anything, the Truview short-sells the vibrancy on the luster and toning. If memory serves, this is my fourth go at this seemingly easier date, but I can say with some confidence that I am now done. This one was purchased NGC64 and crossed at grade.

At this point it may also be appropriate to give a shoutout to Sarasota Rare Coin Gallery, the source of these two and the 3 1/2 legger (although they did not pick up on that fact :) ) I've bought from them previously, although not frequently. I've always made a stop by their table when they come to Baltimore. Always seem to have nicer for grade stuff at fair (lower retail) prices
