Today i went to a gas station to fill up the car and went inside to buy some chips. I pay with my cash and got a really dirty coin. I nearly screamed when i saw it. It was a 1901 V Nickel!! This is by far the best thing i've ever randomly found and the oldest! Heres some pictures: Resized_20170309_145059.jpg Resized_20170309_145119.jpg

Amazing. Even more so when you think how many hands this thing has probably gone through. It's not like some kid snagged something from his dads collection to buy gum. Heck I feel that way now just getting a wheat cent in change.

Yup...you never know! It is still out there. I've only received wheat pennies and the occasional silver Rosie. But I hear about buffalos and Mercs popping up from time to time. Pretty cool find. 1901...wow!!!
