Congrats on a very nice Liberty nickel. I find those from time to time up here in Mass, but usually they are entirely toasted. Yours looks to be in very good shape.

She's a beautiful specimen of a V nickel and the patina is outrageous for a nickel! Must be that clay soil it has been resting in for over 100 years. Congrats on your first V nickel and making it into the 1800's club. Ain't this a HOOT! :occasion18:
