When is a nickel worth five million dollars? When it is a from 1913 with the head of Liberty on one side and a large V on the other.
This nickel once belonged to Louis Eliasberg who is the only person known to have assembled a complete collection of every United States coin by date and mint mark. There are only five known coins like this.
This nickel is the second-highest price ever paid for a single coin. In 2002, a 1933 $20 gold piece was bought for $7.59 million.

Wow! That’s a lot of money! I don’t think that any of my coins are worth that much, although I do have a chinese whatever-you-call-it that’s about 25 years old. (I think)
I’ve never paid that kind of money for just a measly nickle……..thats a lot of cash
i don’t have any “valuable” coins
sounds cool
5 million dollars! I have some valuable ones but not that much. I have a 1942 linclon cent and that is it.

(All the 2000 coins are in a display case.)
A buffalo nickel
Several wheat pennies
The new Washington quarter
And several coins from different contries (Mexico, Spain, Canada, Israelie, England, Korean, and some language I can’t read.
How much do y’all think this would sell? I will not sell my collection, just wondering.
Why would anybody pay that much for a 20$ dollar gold piece?!?
i have a HUGE collection of international paper $ and coins i even have a big coin from the ming dynasty (worth a lot of $$$$$!!!!!)
i would like 1 of those nickels though!
dude i would buy a $20 dollar gold piece for $20 dollars
I have a Liberty head V nickel, but it’s not from 1913 and it’s not worth $5 million! I also have several Morgan dollars from the early 1900s, three Mercury dimes, a 1995 S mark proof set, and a $5 gold piece that I could sell for a lot more than $5 since it’s real gold. I have miscellaneous coins from Africa that are worth almost nothing, some small change in pre-Euro European currency (like French francs, German marks, etc.) and WWII-era 2-franc piece and a 1-franc piece.
i have a buffilo coin and it will sell for 5 big ones!
