An exciting find while going through NICKELS!

[GimmeSomeSilver]

As some of you know, i'm on like a 20+ box skunk streak with dimes and halves, so I decided to pick up a few boxes of nickels today after dumping some coins and I pulled out something I really didn't expect to see. I'm not sure how uncommon they are or what it's worth, so i'll leave it up to you guys! Thanks.

HH,

Congrats on your first V-Nickel! I have not seen one slip into a box in a good long while.

And that "V" nickel is in very nice shape. Most "V" nickels I have seen are pretty close to trash, yours isn't.

Great Find...

they're quite uncommon. I have only one from 1911. and it took about 20 or so boxes of nickels! great score keep it up

Do people sometimes call this a barber nickel? Or is that only with dimes?

Yes they are sometimes called barber nickels.

And I'm assuming it's not worth anything special?

Find a V nickel after only a few boxes is very good! I've only found one 1901, after many many boxes. Well done sir.
