Wondercoin's Pattern Liberty Nickel Collection

关于此套币: Over the past 25+ years, I have collected this Pattern Liberty Nickel set with only coins I could locate in Gem quality to Superb Gem quality. I wanted this Registry Set to be a masterpiece of the most incredible quality specimens that were available in the generation that I collected them. Now, of course, some of these pattern coins are so ultra rare that a Gem example only becomes available every two or three generations, if ever at all! I knew that going into the project; this was likely going to be a life-long pursuit. And, it has brought me great pleasure knowing that a number of the coins in this collection are rarer, or equally rare, than the 1913 Liberty nickel (that’s comes at the very end of this series, while these all come at the very beginning). Edited to add (01/18/25): I just allowed into the set the very first coin in a PCGS graded holder lower than a PR65 grade. The R-7 Judd 1711 resides in rattler PCGS PR64 holder and is ranked the second nicest Judd 1711 in existence out of the half-dozen coins known to exist. It was also a significant upgrade to the set for a second reason as it got me to the 2/3 completion mark of every known pattern Liberty nickel in existence (and again virtually every coin in Gem to Superb Gem quality!).

This set consists of simply the finest quality, and rare to ultra rare, pattern Liberty Nickels I could locate (and successfully win often times in highly contested auction battles) over past twenty-five years. This collection can never be 100% completed as a few R-8 coins are impounded in the collections of some of the greatest museums in the USA. But, that is both slightly frustrating and very liberating at the same time. If you have a pattern nickel I might be interested in, please email me at [email protected].
