First 19th century coin-1874 Shield Nickel

[BomberJohn]

I finally got out again yesterday. As I walked along a trail I got a strong signal. I brushed away a layer of dead pine needles and this is what I found. I didn't even need to dig.

A 1874 Shield nickel with some nice detail.

Nice coin. My shields are all badly corroded and never look very good. Those are always exciting finds. Thanks for sharing.
