Got bored on my day off and decided to hit my lawn again with my XP Deus since storms were in the area and I did not want to venture anywhere and have my day ruined. I ended up finding a 1917 Buffalo Nickel and what looks to be a 1902 V Nickel. Last year I found a 1912 V Nickel here that I could read the date on much easier and a 1890 IH. This is the first Buffalo from here that had a date and I am pleased with the V Nickel. If 1902 is the wrong date and I am seeing it wrong, feel free to correct me. Happy Digging TNET Family!!

Nice finds, looks like a 1902 to me, and a Buffalo with a date is great and yours is easy to read, congrats!

I like that v-Nick. I've never found one in good condition so I like them crusty. Definitely looks like 1902. Cool buff too with the solid date. Keep digging them low signals!

There you are! Nice nickel scores! Congrats!

Nothing better than home, where the buffalo roam when the skies are cloudy all day.

Good day with the nickels!!

A buffalo with a date is always a good find and those v-nickels, I struggle to get a date off any I find.

Congrats on some good finds!
