Very enjoyable day...pulled the V nickel first. 1891 or 1897...which do you think? Also managed to nab four mercs.

That's a great day in my book! I love mercs! Nice finds!
 

Great finds.... The 24 Merc is sweet.... Tough to tell on the nickel, looks like a 7 to me....
 

Great hunt. Love those mercury dimes.
 

My man! You're on the rise and consistently finding some old digs. Great snags and keep them coming.
 

Congrats on digging those 5 keepers. I see it as 1891.

Congrats on the early mercs + v nick!
 

Thanks all. Much appreciated. Looks like the consensus is 1891. Saw a couple folks say 1881. I wish that were the case (68,000 mintage shield nickel) but it's definitely a v-nickel with 'cents'
 

Heck of a haul! , love the mercs
 

4 Mercs and a V nickel is a good day in my book. Older Mercs too. Looks like a good site.
 

great finds!
 

I know I'm late, but it looks like an 1891 to me. I was with Loco on that one. Third digit does not have the lower circle part of an 8. It has a curl of a 9.
 

Nice v and silvers
