1945-P 5C, FS MS66FS 认证号28780090, PCGS号84025

Purchasing this one was an exercise in patience. I was browsing silver nickels for this set on Ebay and ran across this splendid 1945-P. At first I thought the price was a "Buy It Now" at $304.99 and I got pretty excited because the Coinfacts value had it listed at $475.00. I then realized it was a starting bid and the coin had 4 days to go until the end of the auction. I had just purchased some other numismatic items and was NOT in a position to bid on it even 4 days down the road. I was sure it would sell and I would miss the opportunity to own it. I watched that auction like a hawk and it ended 4 days later without a bid...YAY! I contacted the seller and asked if they'd please relist it or offer it to me on a "Buy It Now" auction at the starting bid? The next day I got a reply that it was indeed relisted....on another 5 DAY auction ending on a Saturday morning with a starting bid of $304.99 again!(I'm not a very patient individual...) During that 5 day 'waiting period' I sold a couple of items so I could justify spending the money on this nickel. I told myself "It'd be a bargain if I could get it at that price and she's a real beauty!" Also during that 5 day wait I realized the same seller had a beautiful 1943-S at a starting bid of $69.99 (lists at $115.00) in an auction ending 15 minutes after the 1945-P auction. Hmmmm...TWO bargains?!? When 11:45 a.m. Saturday finally arrived I was sitting at my computer ready to bid when the clock ticked down to about 15 seconds left....I won BOTH coins in the next 15 minutes and they are together in this set now.
