Dug my first pre 1900 coin today. Just off a sidewalk on a small town road that is no longer used. It's not the best specimen but I love it! 1892 V nickel. This is my first old nickel as well. Nothing but Jeffersons up to this point. Was very disappointed that this site did not produce any silver but it was still a fun day. IMG_20170305_172205834.jpg IMG_20170305_172130474.jpg

You and me both! That was the first thing I said to my wife. "I just dug a bucket lister!" Lol

Nice find. Since it is not a key date, you could clean this up rather well with a little vinegar

Congratulations on your first 1800s coin and it's especially nice for it to be a V Nickel! :icon_thumright:

Congrats and welcome to the 1800s club sir!

Usually when a V nickel shows up, Indians are near by. I'm uncertain if you have found one of those yet, but they ring in lower than a zinc cent. Make sure that you keep your ear out for a signal like that. Maybe a 77 or 78 on the ATP.

Congrats and best of luck to you.
