[Ender_boy24]

Today i went to a gas station to fill up the car and went inside to buy some chips. I pay with my cash and got a really dirty coin. I nearly screamed when i saw it. It was a 1901 V Nickel!! This is by far the best thing i've ever randomly found and the oldest! Heres some pictures:

It's still out there, my brother got a buffalo with a readable date in change yesterday.

Amazing. Even more so when you think how many hands this thing has probably gone through. It's not like some kid snagged something from his dads collection to buy gum. Heck I feel that way now just getting a wheat cent in change.

Looks way better than it would if it came out of the ground! Good eye!

Nice find, congratulations!

I received a V-nickel and Buffalo nickel so far this year from the same gas station! You never know!

Nice! My mom just got a Buffalo nickel in her change the other day.

Yup...you never know! It is still out there. I've only received wheat pennies and the occasional silver Rosie. But I hear about buffalos and Mercs popping up from time to time. Pretty cool find. 1901...wow!!!

AWESOME! There is still hope to find a decent coin or two even in this day and age!
