Could Coin Collectors Do More with This Publicity? Would Ebay Sell More Coins? Does this Story Make Sence? Melt the Nickels that you own and wait for Phantom of the opera to Return*]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Gracchi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 8:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[This article makes perfect SENSE! As a coin collector since I was a youngster I find it intriguing that there are only 3 people in the world you could put together a COMPLETE set of Liberty Head Nickels. Three million dollars is a ton of money to me but if a person has that kind of money to INVEST in this coin more power to them. The rate that this coin has appreciated over the years makes it a better investment than any domestic corporation's stock. Enjoy the opera and keep buying those lottery tickets.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 25th 2009 10:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[This should be looked at as a part of American history. It is not the value of the nicklel but the rarity of  the coin that makes it so fascinating. I collect Civil War relics that are rare, because they are a part of American history. Why souuld you criticize someone who is willing to spend his/her money on something they want.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Artnoon  Baloon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 11:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[carmen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 9:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[WE ARE SICK OF THIS GREEDY AND POMPAS , ARROGANT AND INSULTING  MADNESS........GO FEED THE HUNGRY, BEFORE GOD BURNS YOU FOR THIS ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[robert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 9:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[You give to the poor. The poor are notrare and apparently, if you believe Luke 19, will always be on the earth. I agree too many people want too much from those who earned their well being. Grow up, go to work and amount to something instead o bemoaning success.

Too many lazy people want to lie around doing nothing and always say the rich should give us more of their money.

It isn't that the nickel is worth that much, just that someone is foolish enough to give away such money for 5 cents.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gerald Spencer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 9:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[Please get a life if people have money to spend on a nickel then they have a right to. You have no idea what the rich give to charity or not. Maybe you should worry about your own finances and stop hating people that have more than you. Maybe if you work hard and save money, invest and be smart you could have more. It's call'ed Capitalism. How about stop feeling sorry for yourself and depending on other people and the government to support you.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bad41132]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 9:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[I collect coins myself and, boy, what I'd do if I had one of those in my collection. Just like many, who collect the states quarters well, I buy them in the boxes, "platinum, gold, P, D and, I have other coins, such as, buffalo head nickle's, dime's, wheat pennie's. But, when one, coin can fetch that kind of money it would be good to ask, grandpa or ma if they've save their old coins from way back.

By the standards of 95+% of the world, you are rich.<br>(2) Currently, Person #1 owns the coin and Person #2 has $3mil.  After Jan. 6, Person #2 will own the coin and Person #1 will have the $3mil.  The net result is - ZERO.  Maybe the current owner will take the proceeds from the sale and help the poor - did you ever stop to consider that possibility?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CBC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 25th 2010 5:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[Work harder people, millions on welfare depend on you!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dustyash08]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 11:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[I do not understand how a coin can have such a higher value than intended over years and  humans are starving and homeless in so many places including the United States how can things be more value than little children who are sick an homeless, starving yet no fault of thier own and someone says they deserve it because they were born into such a situation I Pray that God touches the heart of the person or persons who feel that way that nickel will be here when who ever gets it has gone to heaven or hell.  Its a nickel its a thing.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jacqueline Henry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2009 2:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'll pay five cents for this nickel.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frank Crisci]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 11:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[I REMEMBER THIS COIN FROM SEVERAL YRS BACK, ITS AN MS--66 CERTIFIED AND I DO BELIEVE IT WAS 2 OR 3 GRADES ABOVE THE NEXT CLOSEST. IT IS A VERY RARE COIN. I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING OVER 35 YRS AND HAVE A EARLY HALF COLLECTION W/O THE 1794, 1796, 1797, 1815/2 & the 1836 RE. ALL OF THEM ARE IN AU-50 THRU MS-61 CERTIFIED. I ALSO HAVE A EARLY SILVER COMMEM COLLECTION THATS 2/3'S COMPLETE , ALL CERTIFIED MS-64 THRU MS-67. THE MARKET IS NUTS NOW , NOT A GOOD TIME TO BUY. JUST A WORD, NEVER BUY UNCERTIFIED & SHOP AROUND. THERE ARE SOME GOOD DEALERS OUT THERE BUY THERE ARE SOME REAL BAD ONES OUT THERE ALSO, I HAVE RUN INTO A FEW. ITS A WONDERFUL HOBBY. IF YOU DECIDE TO SELL, GO AUCTION, DEALERS TAKE ALL OF YOUR PROFIT, BUY A REALLY GOOD QUALITY COIN INSTEAD OF SEVERAL LESS VALUABLE ONES. IT GOES MINTAGE, QUALITY, AVAILABILITY, CERTIFIED WHEN LOOKING AT COINS. GOOD LUCK--ALSO ITS A LONG TERM TYPE OF HOBBY , SO BE PREPARED TO INVEST LONG TERM.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim Fedullo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 2nd 2010 8:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[I collect coins and have read the story behind them.<br>Produced in 1913 on 3rd shift, but were stored away until showing up at a fair in 1920. All the coins were supposedly purchased by a guy named Green <br>(last name). Then eventually split up and sold.<br>The story also one of the coins were lost when a collector in the 50's had an automobile accident.( he was known to have carried the coin on his person)<br>The others, many have owned. I remember one collector Elisburg had COMPLETE! US Coin collection. He had one of these nickels.<br>Reed Hawn also owned one of these. I do wish to purchase one of these before I pass on......... The key word is WISH!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[robertmartin4]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2009 1:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have a dime 1804 head of a women facing right is it worth anything?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[edg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2009 1:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA["Back in the day" the mint would produce what were essentially vanity pieces; minted on order of the Treasurer in tiny numbers as gifts for their friends.  Thus, you have genuine US currency with these EXTREMELY limited production numbers.  These type of coins are not really on the radar of your average numismatist, but very interesting none the less. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mintrubble71]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2009 1:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/12/23/rare-nickel-could-fetch-3-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[As Groucho Marx said, "What this country needs is a 7 cent nickel!"]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JUGL11]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2009 2:04AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
