Okay this post is going to be confusing for a lot of people, but I will do the best that I can to explain the events.
My confidence in buying coins from eBay began to spike during the whole month of May. Even though people generally warn you that buying coins from such online websites like eBay and Amazon could possibly lead you down a path you don't wanna take and you find yourself into purchasing FAKES!!
I believe that I have yet to be cheated by this, but the vibe I had, and the feeling of great accomplishment was soaring high. I eventually decided to go through and purchase more than one coin per transaction.
What I ended up with was several Lincoln cents and one 1905 P Liberty Head Nickel.
The Liberty Head Nickel was made by the US Mint from 1883 until 1912.
I took advantage of a combined discounted shipping rate for postage from an eBay seller and purchased the Liberty Head Nickel and these older Lincoln cents. The more I purchased, the larger discount I received to pay for shipping, which I thought was a great deal.
And what I would find out about the Liberty Head Nickel much later after I received it, is the fact that the coin that I purchased is actually a highly collectable coin. The value of the coin (depending on condition and whether it is circulated or uncirculated) gives it a large value span between $4 USD and $30 USD typically. But those coin specimens that are uncirculated will range anywhere between $80 USD upwards to $4,250 USD and even higher.
Now I do not wish to get into very specific details about how much I paid, what the value of each coin is worth, and so forth and so on, but I bring up this point rather to input that this Liberty Head Nickel that I now have in the collection is very sought after and did not realize that fact until after I received it.
When I learned about this fact about the coin in general, I definitely became more and more excited about what I had done with the hobby up to that point and was sharing quite a bit about what I have collected so far in 2026.
That led to someone reaching out to me privately to discuss their collection of various coins that they had, and I was welcomed to it if I had any interest. Which will be the topic of the next blog post here.
Disclaimer: It will be the topic of discussion, ONLY IN PART. I do not want to give out too much information of who, what, where and why. It will be coin related and how it involves the collection in how it is in current time.
STAY TUNED.
