I was pretty excited to find my first buffalo nickel today. As well, I found another mercury dime for my collection, a 1940.?
Lastly, I found this 1943 war nickel near the water and when I dug it up, it has so much thick blue-ish black corrosion on it I could not tell what kind of coin I had.? With the amount of corrosion, I though maybe I had found my first large cent.? The gunk flaked off after a little soaking and picking with a toothpick, however, the red stuff wont come off.?
