I know its only 35% silver, but that's more silver than aluminum!

Great start. I love finding them. You're in the right spot so keep at it. :occasion14:

Just last week I found an EF 1941 Nickel in my pocket change that was a happy thing. It's sitting right here beside my keyboard now.

When I hunted a pounded town park regularly years back I was surprised how many nickels I found. I think a lot of coin shooters mask the tabs too much and miss the nickels.

Very nice save and beautiful condition!

I had several I was sending in for melt......... to Mid West refineries..........they no longer take them, I guess it takes to much to separate the nickel and silver?
