Possible Set Rating
63.533

By the time all nickel varieties are incorporated, nearly two hundred additional coins are required – the majority being die varieties of Shield nickels. While only a few will likely attempt this set, and even fewer will ever complete it, it will be an impressive collecting achievement when finally accomplished.

Notes: This set has bonuses. Please see the Set Composition for a listing. This set is a work in progress. As new varieties are recognized, they may be added to the set. Likewise, delisted varieties will no longer be required.
