Wow

how did you clean that coin??

 

[skydiv]

I had one of those when I was a kid. My dad spent it on a cigar.

 

[poppa19]

I cleaned this coin in baking soda and warm water with a soft tooth brush.

Nice find,

I see the date. They are small as it is on those coins. They aren't easy to find either.

HEY POPPA 19,
I FOUND A FEW MYSELF. CONGRATS ON THE NICKLE DUDE. THINK ABOUT THE TRASH ITEMS YOU FOUND ALONG WITH THE 5 CENT PIECE. YOU SAID YOU FOUND ABOUT A DOZEN SQUARE NAILS. THE DETAIL ON THE COIN LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN DROPPED MAYBE 1868 OR 9. I BELIEVE YOU FOUND A POSSIBLE HOMESTEAD. DIG YOUR 50 VDI READINGS AND LOOK FOR BUTTONS. IF YOU GET SOME BUTTONS ,I THINK YOU HIT A LITTLE HOTSPOT........BEST WISHES, PACO

If I found one, I wouldn't know what the hell it was w/o looking it up.

Outstanding find! Maybe a few months in olive oil will help it, mine are all bathing now.
