Great looking nickel. How did you clean it? I know your nickel is nicer than the one I found recently but I would like to clean mine to see more detail under the grime.
 

I found 38 Vnickels in 2015 two 1884s just could not find that 1885 nice job on your 1885 key date nice condition too....:occasion14:
 

Yeah that's a beauty. They hardly ever come out that nice. I've been fortunate to have found two 85s over the yrs

Not just a great date, but very nice for a v nickel coming out of the ground. Way to go!
 

That's a sweet one! Wish the '86 I dug was that nice.............
Congrat's!

The cartridge case looks like a Blank.

The first thing I did was gather up some snow for distilled water, I let it and the wheat soak in it for a while, then I cleaned with soap and water and used a pencil eraser lightly removing the thin layer of clay or whatever it was coated with.
 

BOY THE 1885 COIN IS A BEAUTY .
