Dansco Coin Albums have long been a trusted choice for coin collectors, offering a reliable and organized way to preserve and showcase their collections. The Liberty Nickel 1883-1912 Dansco Album is specifically designed to hold and display Liberty nickels minted between 1883 and 1912. This album comes in a 5/8″ binder, providing space for up to 70 coins.
The album consists of two Dansco pages, labeled as series 7111-1 to 7111-2. Each page is dedicated to holding and displaying the complete range of Liberty nickels minted from 1883 to 1912. These nickels feature a captivating design that showcases Lady Liberty on the obverse and a Roman numeral “V” surrounded by a wreath on the reverse.
It is worth noting that the famous 1913 Liberty Head nickel, one of the most valuable coins in existence, is not included in this album. Only five 1913 Liberty nickels are known to exist, and they are considered extremely rare and valuable. In fact, in 2007, one of these coins sold for a staggering $5 million in a private transaction. Due to the extreme rarity and value of the 1913 Liberty nickel, this album does not have a specific slot for it.
Liberty nickels are composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel, giving them their distinctive appearance. They have a diameter of 21.2 mm and weigh 5 grams each. These nickels were minted at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints, adding to their historical significance and collectability.
Dansco Coin Albums are renowned for their durability and ease of use. The pages of the Liberty Nickel 1883-1912 Dansco Album are securely attached to the binder using metal screws. This feature allows for effortless addition or replacement of coins while ensuring the longevity and organization of your collection.
Whether you are an experienced numismatist or a beginner collector, the Liberty Nickel 1883-1912 Dansco Album offers a comprehensive and visually appealing way to preserve and display your Liberty nickel collection. It allows you to appreciate the artistry and historical significance of these coins, excluding the elusive 1913 Liberty nickel, which remains a remarkable rarity in the numismatic world.
