Was walking home from the bar tonight and and noticed a sidewalk tearout. My neighborhood is old - built up after the 1871 great fire. I have been waiting for a long time to see some tearouts. A buddy of mine always hits them first and has found old indians and shield nickels but today I must have got to this one first! I actually didn't know there was such a coin! For being nickel I am surprsed it isn't toasted but it was completely black. I tried the boiling water/baking soda trick on it and it helped at least enough to see the date and some details!
