I asked my wife the other day to buy me a few rolls of Nickels do i could fill out my holes in my collection. well Easter had me busy with the kids and work so i did not get to open the rolls until last night and what a surprise i was in for.

I opened the first roll and found a few i didn't have, but in roll number 3 of 5 i got my first bis surprise, i noticed the roll was a little uneven before i opened it but i thought it was just the coins that was a little crocked inside, (I NEVER EXPECTED THIS) a 1880 5 dollar Gold Coin was laying there smiling at me.. could this be right,, was i so tired that my eyes was playing a game with me.. i asked my wife what she saw and she confirmed it YUP a 1880 5 dollar Gold coin.. GOD DANG.

now if anyone can help me grade it from the pictures i would be happy.
