A fistful of liberty

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

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.

Def seeing a "1" Murray

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'

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

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.
