Found my oldest coin

[baseballbandits]

Found this coin and a whole bunch of trash in the woods. I always wonder who dropped it...
This pic was after cleaning the coin. I let it soak in soap water for a week and then lightly scrubbed off the crud so I could read the date.
Im semi-proud of the pic considering the coins condition.

Its a 1891 V Nickel

Thanks,
Ive been back to that spot 3 times. I found a 1910 Wheat Cent and loads of nails, cans, etc... hardest 6 cents I have ever earned :P
I will post pics whenever I find anything worthwhile. I'm very adept w/ my Cannon SD400

Those pics came out looking great!

Note: baseballbandit and I usually go coin hunting together. This coin was found in a wooded area near Stone Mountain, GA. I'm sure we will continue to search this area, its always nice finding clad, but nothing beats finding a coin with a little history to it!

p.s. - you should also post the 1910 wheat cent.
