Coincidentally, another of the three privately-held 1913 Liberty Nickels has just changed hands. Here's a report from Joshua
McMorrow-Hernandez at the Coin Dealer Newsletter. -Editor
 A specimen of the 1913 Liberty nickel owned by famous collector George O. Walton has been sold in a private transaction for an undisclosed
amount between $3 million and $4 million. The coin, co-owned by Jeff Garrett of Mid-American Rare Coin Galleries in Lexington, Kentucky, and Larry
Lee of Coin and Bullion Reserves of Panama City, Florida, was sold to two brothers, Martin Burns and Ronald Firman, and the deal was brokered by Bob
Paul of Bob Paul Rare Coins in Philadelphia.
The Walton specimen, graded Proof63 by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), previously transacted for $3,172,500 in April 2013 – well above its then-estimated value of $2,500,000. Two other specimens, owned by Louis Eliasberg and Fred Olsen, last took $5 million in 2007 and $3,737,500 in 2010, respectively.
