1913 NICKEL TALE DEBUNKED

  Gar Travis sent in a link to an Associated Press story where
  Coin World editor Beth Deisher debunks the Nevada story
  about the missing 1913 Liberty nickel that we mentioned
  last week.

  "Beth Deisher, editor of Coin World magazine in Sidney, Ohio,
  said John Finney's tale that the nickel was lost when his
  mother's childhood home in Sparks was razed for a freeway
  overpass is implausible."

  "We know the whereabouts of the coin up until around 1945,"
  Deisher said by telephone. "It is documented through auction
  sales, private sales. ...   It goes off the radar screen in 1962."
