Re: so Cassie and I have had a good few days
very good finds!
how many of the dark edges actually were war nickels? Can you spot them to some degree of certainty just like 40%'s after a while? I've never worked nickels so I have no frame of ref.
Great pile of wheaties also!

If it were easy and we scored keepers everytime it would be called Coin Roll Picking not Coin Roll Hunting.

Krause book stats for the Italian 1 lira,1922R:

$0.60 $2.00 $15 $200
From the pics it looks AU, so you might have a nice find.

Re: so Cassie and I have had a good few days
Lets see some close up pictures on that shield nickel. From what I understand in 1878 only 2350 proof shield nickels were minted, none were minted for circulation that year. Weather or not that is a 1878 you have been really successful with your finds.
