The Barber is not a barber but a V nickle, it is pretty worn slick but still has a date of 1899. Dateless Buff, Merc and a War nickle. total screw up on my part, just had a shot in my eye the day before and had vision problems plus was on muscle relaxers for lower back. feel like an idiot now

I feel like an idiot. Actually I don't do the pictures or attach them to the posts, my wife does that part. I struggle with how to do it, mainly remembering what you have to do so she does them all for me. I had the coins separate and she did her thing. I totally failed to do mine. At the time I really didn't care, just wanted it done. my eye felt like it had broken glass in it from the shot that I had the day before and so I wasn't really looking at much. and no, it is a lot bigger than a dime. guess you had to have been there. Today I can see better but still feel like an idiot. I feel like the guy that shoots a basket at the wrong end and makes it for the other team. Duh

I hope you get to feeling better DL. Please don’t worry about it that nickel.

Good luck buddy.

Charles Barber designed the Liberty head/'V' nickel. Wouldn't that technically make it a Barber?

How did you clean up that nickel? I found one a couple nights ago and it has a thin layer of
rust covering 80% of the coin. I have been soaking in olive oil for 2 days.

Thanks
