Got to handle the 1913 nickels

After the ANA closed on Sunday afternoon, I was privileged to follow the 1913
nickel exhibit into the Security room and pick up and look at each piece. The
ANA and Smithsonian pieces were in Kointains, the Walton piece in its
40-year-old Capital Plastic holder, and the other two pieces slabbed. I
wholeheartedly concurred with the other experts that the Walton piece is
genuine.
What a rush! I have handled five 1804 dollars over the years, but never more
than two at once.

Tom, I only got to look at the coins through the case like the other plebes. Am I correct
in saying that the Eliasburg coin is by far the nicest? The Walton example looked pretty
dull and lackluster IMHPO.

The Eliasberg piece was the nicest.
Personally, I thought that the Walton piece could stand a judicious light dip,
but did not offer to do so myself.
