cool. I like V-nicks. too bad about the scratch, but hey we all do it
 

Nice find! Found my first V a couple weeks ago. The never seem to turn up in good condition. Yours seems to have some pretty good detail though. Congrats.
 

Nice find, just love digging up old nickels. HH
 

Outstanding find....I haven't found one yet but I have hope!

 

Looks like ya scratched it, it happens to us all..Congrats on your first V...
 

I gave up on digging them so I found two at a flea market and picked them both up for $3. They are nice and clean, appear undug. They aren't worth much but I didn't have to dig them either so it was worth it to me to pass them down to the youngsters someday. I think there was a 05 and 12 I think.
 

Thanks guys. I hate that I scratched it but I still love it. I was diggin in a local park that isnt that old so I never expected an old coin to be there. I usually just dig clad there and some silver jewelry from time to time so I was thinking it was just another nickel. Needless to say I was PLEASANTLY suprised.
 

Congrats to you. You beat mine by 3 years! Mine was found at a 1970's era park that used to just be a field. I figured a hunter had dropped it maybe. Mine was my oldest coin for many months. I hope you get your oldest soon too!
 

Way to go on the "V" nickel and breaking into the 1800's. Well done! :hello2:
-MM-
 

Nice, sweet find. I love finding these, just found a 1898 myself last weekend. Always a thrill. Congrats.
 

Congrats!! I just found my first V-nickel AND first 1800's coin about a month ago, 1891 v-nickel. Now you and I have to raise the bar! Nice find :-)
 

Good job, even with that scratch its better them my salt corroded one. I added this years "V" nickel.
