Made a bad day from work better

[Truth]

I got my first war nickel today and I got my first three ringer today after work. Really put a smile on my face. Would anybody know around the age of the 3 ringer?

That bullet has cannelures, little lines inside the rings. These were not used until the 1880s. The bullet is similar to a minie ball, but more modern.

Congrats on the war nickel! It's an official WW2 coin! (JK)

Thanks for the information. I'm a 1800's nut more than gold. I need more or that feeling. Lol
