Curb Strip!

[Digger RJ]

Went for a short hunt today. Got permission for the curb strip just down from the last yard in which I found an Indian and Silvers in that I had already hunted in the past.
Slow start, but got an 1800’s V Nickel, couple of Wheats, captain Midnight token, and a little play money piece. Fun altogether!!
V Nickel-1889
Wheats-1928,1945D,1948D
Thanks for looking & Happy Hunting!!!!

Any suggestions on how to clean V Nickels? That’s a nice one

Thank You!! I’ve tried a lot of ways damaging a few. And have decided to not use water, just a toothpick and some good finger rubs. Water will cause some of the patina to break off leaving a red Nickel. I’ve damaged too many any other way. This one I used a tooth pick and finger rubs on😁

Indeed, feel like I’ve turned all my best nickel finds red. I’ve been experimenting with “No Date” buffalos. Think I’ll try the toothpick route next time. - thanks

A medium stiff artist brush will work too!

Happy Hunting!!!

Nice going on the nickel and the Captain Midnight token.
