V Nickel Coin Spill !!!

[TxSchelter]

Well I was out detecting new spots where the cowboys shot at the indians.
We were at an old school house circa 1900 and found a coin spill!
Found all these coins in the same hole and other treasure at various old farmhouses.
Got a few shotgun shells, some old chain, tack, a wagon step, a piece of jewelry from an indian mission, a snap button that i could not identify, an old sugar spoon and other old treasure.
The spill had V nickels back to 1883 (the rarer one that doesnt say CENTS under the V), 2 Buffalo's, a 1898 Indian, and a few wheaties back to 1915.
Not only my first V but got a rare one and it wasnt alone! My first indian also! Cant wait to go back to these spots what an exciting day!

Enough people gold plated these 1883 "no cents " nickels - to pass them off as 5$ gold pieces , that the mint had to redesign the coin
adding the denomination later that same year - ( paraphrased from the "Redbook" of U.S. coins ) Nice finds !

Do you know what the long slender item next to the button in the picture with the shotgun head stamps is? If you don't you might be surprised to know. I found one took a while but I found out what it was. If you don't know what is your best guess? if you get it wrong I'll tell you what it is.

Nice, I haven't found any V nickels and most of the nickels I found are Jeffersons'.

The 1883 with cents is actually worth more then the one without cents, but it is nice to find one either way.

I couldn't see your dates, but the key dates are 1885, 1886 and 1912s. The 1883 "with cents" is really only a semi-key.

bigred,

I was thinking it was a hair clip? Am i right?!!!

 

[TxSchelter]

Thanks Pointman, key or semi key i was happy to score a "rarer" one! I have had a streak lately of getting the right year but not right mint! Like the 1909 wheatie i dug the other day, boy was i excited to get it home and clean it up (and go figure not a rare one). Hence the name RARE!!

Thank you all for your comments!

Great Finds man!!!!...I would love to have a hot spot like that?

 

[MT_Joe]

Nice chain!

 

[Hunterhound]

Nice Finds! It's that kind of stuff that make me wish I bought my detector during the cold months so I could be out finding good stuff instead of learning how to use it right now .

I have one I inherited from my gramps that still has a bit of gold plating left on it!

Ya know, there's nothing quite like the feeling of opening up a plug and seeing it full of coins. Any coins will do, but when it's a spill from a century or more ago, it is particular sweet!

Very nice indeed!
