Nickel Goes for Pretty Penny: $4.15 Million
From Times Wire Reports
Not many people can retire on a nickel -- unless it’s a rare 1913 Liberty Head like the one that sold for $4.15 million.
Legend Numismatics, a coin dealership in Lincroft, N.J., bought it from collector Ed Lee of Merrimack, N.H. It is one of only five such nickels known to exist.
“Owning a 1913 Liberty Head nickel is unlike owning any other coin in the world,” said Laura Sperber, co-president of Legend Numismatics. She called the 1913 Liberty Head the most famous of American rare coins.
