	1913 Liberty Head nickel was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

The text says purchased “it from Newman and Johnson in 1945 for approximately US$3,750, equal to $48,410 today.{14} Well what exactly is “today”? The footnotes says “^ "George O. Walton, Collector (1907–1962)". ANA Money Museum. Retrieved 17 April 2007.” -- Whatever that means. The hyperlink is dead as a doornail.

The text should say “it from Newman and Johnson in 1945 for approximately US$3,750, equal to X in 2013 Dollars. Quite naturally someone could be reading this five ten years from now. In this case the figure is from 2007 which is six years ago as I write this. So the term "today" isn’t accurate enough for an encyclopedia entry.-- 68.118.201.68 ( talk) 13:09, 2 February 2013 (UTC) reply

I may review this article in the future if I have time (bit of a coin collector myself), but I just wanted to point out that the lead needs expansion. It should deal briefly with the possible origins of the coins and maybe give each a sentence explaining their background in a quick summary.

This article is pretty good and probably only needs teh extra 10% to make GA.

• The most obvious thing I noticed, as an Australian reading the article was: How much is a nickel worth?? I had to look it up in the dictionary to see 5c (and later I noticed it at the bottom) - I think the lead needs to note that the nickel is a 5c coin for the non-Americans
• The lead needs to be expanded to be larger
• The years needs to be wikilinked consistently: all or none
• Probably the lead should have comments from experts/scholars as to why the nickel is so important and significant. Also some history about why these things are so rare
• The article should probably use "USD" or "US$" or something so that people can be dead certain that it is US dollars, not Australian dollars and what have you
• A bit of background about the transition from Liberty Head to Indian head would be good for the uniniated, like me. It appears from reading the article that the mint employee unofficially cast the coins in 1913 even though the old design had been removed?!?! This should be stated explicitly if this is the case
• First part of Eliasberg section needs a ref
• What does "finest" mean? If it is a technical term, an explanation or a link would be good
• " the Olsen specimen is almost certainly the most famous" - a source directly after this would be good
• Can a ref be provided for the Norweb specimen?
• Can the ISBNs of the book be provided
• I think more discussion about the significance of the coin and what sets it apart is needed. At the moment it is mostly about the ownership history of the coins and their financial transfers. Apart from that the article is pretty good and well written also.

That 'rumor' of a perfect one being worth 20 million in the intro is very, very fake. Here's why:

• the user who added that information (Alarbus) was a sock puppet and blocked
• the article cited does not mention that information at all
• it doesn't make sense as there have only ever been 5 known
• it doesn't make sense as the highest sold price for a coin was about $10 million
• it might be a reference to the 1849 $20 pattern piece which has never been sold but evaluated at similar price values
• the only internet references I could find to this info referenced Wikipedia itself

As a result, I removed it. (That change was a revision done on Revision as of 05:17, 27 January 2012.) Nautilator ( talk) 00:56, 30 January 2015 (UTC) reply
