A beautifully presented complete "50 Years of U.S. Nickels" collection housed in an elegant custom locking hardwood display cabinet with fitted burgundy velvet interior, comprising fifty United States five-cent coins spanning the major circulating nickel types of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The collection is thoughtfully arranged in individual protective holders within a tiered presentation case, showcasing the evolution of the United States nickel from the Liberty Head ("V") series through the iconic Buffalo Nickels and into the Jefferson Nickel series. The interior lid is attractively finished with gilt lettering reading "50 Years of U.S. Nickels," while the cabinet features a locking lid with tasseled key, decorative inlaid border, and lower accessory drawer. Designed as both a collector's cabinet and an elegant display piece, the presentation elevates the collection well beyond a traditional coin album, allowing each coin to be viewed individually while remaining protected. The fitted velvet interior and fine hardwood construction make the cabinet suitable for display in a study, library, or numismatic collection. An attractive opportunity for both beginning and established collectors seeking a handsome turnkey collection presented in an exceptional custom display cabinet. Individual coin grades vary and should be evaluated independently by prospective bidders.

  • Literature: Reference: Q. David Bowers, A Guide Book of Buffalo and Jefferson Nickels; R.S. Yeoman, A Guide Book of United States Coins ("The Red Book"); Walter Breen, Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins.
  • Circa: Coins dating from the late 19th through the mid-20th century; cabinet of later manufacture.
  • Condition: Overall very good presentation condition. Hardwood cabinet exhibits light surface wear consistent with careful handling. Velvet interior remains clean and vibrant. Includes working lock and original key with tassel. Coins are housed in individual protective holders. Coin grades vary from circulated to better circulated examples and are being sold as a complete collection rather than as individually graded coins.
